In their inaugural Women's T20 World Cup match, Scotland faced a 16-run defeat against Bangladesh, finishing with a score of 103 for 7 while chasing a target of 120. Sarah Bryce stood out for Scotland, remaining unbeaten on 49 runs, but her efforts were not enough to secure a victory as she received limited support from her teammates. Bangladesh, who won the toss and opted to bat first, managed to post a total of 119 for 7. Scotland's bowlers, particularly Saskia Horley, performed admirably, with Horley achieving a career-best figure of three wickets for 13 runs in just two overs at the end of the innings. She played a crucial role in dismissing key Bangladeshi players, including Shorna Akter, Ritu Moni, and Nigar Sultana, despite Scotland dropping three catches during the match. The defeat marks a challenging start for Scotland in the tournament, as they look to regroup and improve in their upcoming fixtures.
