She was well-supported by wicketkeeper-opener Kamalini G, who scored a solid 51 off 42 balls, and Sanika Chalke, who contributed an unbeaten 29 off 20 balls. Together, they propelled India to a formidable total of 208 for 1 in their 20 overs.

In response, Scotland struggled against a disciplined Indian bowling attack and were bundled out for 58 in 14 overs. Openers Pippa Kelly and Emma Walsingham were the top scorers for Scotland, each managing 12 runs.




Left-arm orthodox spinner Ayushi Shukla starred with the ball for India, delivering a sensational spell of 4 for 8. She was ably supported by left-armer Vaishnavi Sharma (3 for 5) and Trisha Gongadi (3 for 6), who impressed with her all-round performance after her batting heroics.


In other matches of the day, Bangladesh concluded their campaign with a dominant 10-wicket victory over the West Indies. The Bangladeshi bowlers were on point, restricting the West Indies to a modest 54 for 6 in 13 overs.

Chasing the target, opener Juairiya Ferdous guided her team to victory with an unbeaten 25, sealing the win inside nine overs.



Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl first at Bayuemas Oval, following tireless efforts by the ground staff in the nation's capital to make play possible. Spinner Nishita Akter Nishi shone with the ball, taking three wickets, while Anisa Akter Soba chipped in with two.

The West Indies struggled in the challenging conditions, and Bangladesh comfortably chased down the target to climb to third place in the Group 1 standings.

Meanwhile, in another Group 2 match, heavy rain in Sarawak forced the abandonment of the Super Six contest between South Africa and the USA without a ball being bowled.

South Africa had already secured their spot in the semi-finals, while the USA gained a point from the no-result to move to third place in Group 2.
