Scotland beat Thailand by 58 runs in Women’s World Cup qualifying

Captain Kathryn Bryce was Scotland's top run scorer with 60 from 58 balls

Scotland bounced back from defeat by Pakistan to earn a 58-run victory over Thailand in Lahore and strengthen their hopes of qualifying for the Women’s World Cup.

Captain Kathryn Bryce led from the front with a 58-ball 60 and was well supported by 57 from Megan McColl as the Scots made 206.

Rachel Slater then made an immediate impact with the ball, removing the top three batters in a superb spell of three for nine from six overs to leave Thailand struggling on 46 for three and they never recovered.

Natthakan Chantham’s 63 was the only resistance as Katherine Fraser and Abtaha Maqsood claimed three wickets each, with Thailand bowled out for 148 in 31.3 overs.

Scotland now have two wins from their matches as they pursue a top-two finish to secure a place in the tournament.
