The innings were then taken forward by Sarah Bryce (55 runs off 56 balls). Skipper Kathryn Bryce (6 runs off nine balls) got out cheaply.

It was a combined bowling effort from the Windies women's team led by their skipper, Hayley Matthews. She took four wickets for 56 runs. Bowling all-rounder Aaliyah Alleyne took two wickets for 31 runs in her spell of 10 overs. Off-spinner Karishma Ramharack took two wickets for 46 runs in her 10 overs. She and left-arm spinner Zaida James bowled a maiden each as Scotland was bowled out in 45 overs. Chinelle Henry was electric on the field as she effected two run-outs.
Scotland will need to come up with a big effort with the ball to defend the total. The West Indies have enough depth in their batting order to chase down the score. Spinners will need to play a major role in the middle overs to prevent the Windies from chasing down the total.
