Maia Bouchier’s unbeaten 62 helped England Women secure a 10-wicket victory over Scotland in their ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Group B match in Sharjah.

Sophie Ecclestone took 2-13 while Charlie Dean and the returning Bell also contributed with a wicket each.

Winning the toss and choosing to bat, Scotland started positively before Saskia Horley was caught off Sciver-Brunt while Sarah Bryce was stumped off Ecclestone.

Ailsa Lister and Lorna Jack-Brown fell in quick succession, Lister dismissed by Danielle Gibson, the returning Bell bowling the latter, Scotland finished their innings on 109-6.
