England signalled their intentions with a 10-wicket mauling of Scotland to jump to the top of their group and brighten prospects of making the semi-finals of the Women’s T20 World Cup on Sunday.

Opting to bat first, Scotland were restricted to a modest 109-6 in their allotted 20 overs. In reply, England openers Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge came out all guns blazing and completed the chase in just 10 overs while jacking up the team’s Net Run Rate with a brilliant Powerplay.
