Maia Bouchier erned the player of the match honor for her blistering 62 off 34 balls including 12 fours.
In the post match interview she said, "I felt really good, batting with Danny is always easy. We have an unspoken communication, we tried to hit straight down the gound and run between the wickets hard, which would help us win. We were told about the 8th over that we needed to get it done before the 10th over, this tournament is fine margins and the bowlers did brilliantly. Of course we want to take the trophy, but we want to think about the present and not think about what others are doing. We need to keep our calm going into the next two games. Kept saying to myself to be still and watch the ball, Danny kept reminding me too, I back myself to go and win games for my country."
It was a rout for the Scotland women in Sharjah as England defeated them by 10 wickets, chasing down the target of 110 runs in just 10 overs almost confirming a berth in the semifinals of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024. Read the full match report HERE.
