Both the West Indies and Scotland lost their campaign openers, and are desperately eyeing wins to keep their Women's T20 World Cup semi-final hopes afloat. Follow the live cricket scores and updates from the WI-W vs SCO-W match
Afy Fletcher strikes twice in two balls to unsettle Scotland again. She has Ailsa Lister caught at deep midwicket and then traps Priyanaz Chatterji bang in front in the 13th over to leave the Scots four down with the run rate still under five an over. To compound their woes, Fletcher returns in her fourth and final over to send back the well-set Scottish skipper Kathryn Bryce. The Windies are looking to restrict them to a sub-110 total here.
Even though Scotland have not lost any wickets in the last seven overs, their run rate is still a huge area of concern. Scoring at 4.5 an over will not hold them in good stead in a T20I, and that's where the Scots stand at the halfway stage of their innings. Can they up the ante in the next 10 overs or will the Windies apply the squeeze? Let's find out after the drinks break.
West Indies have dealt a couple of early blows to Scotland. Both their openers are dismissed inside the first three overs, as the Windies are bossing the powerplay. First, captain Hayley Matthews has Saskia Horley caught at midwicket in the second over. Chinelle Henry then uproots Sarah Bryce's off stump. Runs are down to a trickle too as the Scots look to rebuild.
Scotland captain Kathryn Bryce has won the toss and opted to bat first against West Indies.
