Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge sparkled as England moved a step closer to the semi-finals of the women’s T20 World Cup semi-finals following a commanding 10-wicket win over Scotland in Sharjah.

Already-eliminated Scotland amassed their highest total of the tournament in their last Group B match but a score of 109 for six was overhauled by England’s openers with a whopping 10 overs to spare.
Bouchier was dropped on 12 and made Scotland pay with an unbeaten 62 off 34 balls, while Wyatt-Hodge made 51 not out off 26 deliveries, as England eased to a third win from three matches.
England significantly boosted their net run-rate and could seal top spot in the group by beating West Indies on Tuesday, probably avoid a semi-final against Australia in the process.
