She took three wickets in the 19th over, including Darcey Carter on 59. Scotland required 17 off the last over and was all out on the last ball for 146 on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Only the West Indies and England were two for two in Group 2, with the top two making the semifinals.<\/p>\n<p>Scotland had the West Indies on the ropes in both innings. Tight bowling and fielding reduced the West Indies to 124-6 after 18 overs. But another veteran, Stafanie Taylor, who missed the West Indies\u2019 opening win over defending champion New Zealand, rescued the batting effort.<\/p>\n<p>Her unbeaten 47 off 19 balls with 34 runs in boundaries lifted her side to a competitive 153-6 total. West Indies added 29 off the last two overs, 26 by Taylor.<\/p>\n<p>Katherine Fraser starred in the field for Scotland with two wickets, including bowling Hayley Matthews, a leaping catch on the boundary, and a run out of Shemaine Campbelle on 36.<\/p>\n<p>Fraser and Carter then gave Scotland a brilliant flying start to the chase. But West Indies fought back with four wickets in 13 balls into the eighth over, and Scotland\u2019s run rate dropped below the required run rate for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Carter injured her leg in the fourth over and was dropped on 19. Struggling to run, she didn\u2019t hit a boundary after the fifth over until the 18th. Scotland went nearly five overs without a boundary.<\/p>\n<p>But Scotland stayed in the game thanks to poor bowling and fielding. It took Alleyne to provide relief.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Ireland plays New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Jun 19, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/womens-cricket\/west-indies-beats-scotland-7-runs-womens-t20-world-cup-2026\/article71120922.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The West Indies overcame Scotland by seven runs and stayed unbeaten at the Women\u2019s T20 World Cup after a madcap match at Headingley.
