Women's T20 World Cup 2024: West Indies bring first victory in T20 World Cup 2024 beating Scotland
Women's T20 World Cup 2024, West Indies vs Scotland: Afy Fletcher’s three-wicket haul and Qiana Joseph’s counter-attacking knock lead West Indies Women to victory over Scotland. Have a look at key moments!
In a Group B match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, West Indies Women claimed their first win by comfortably beating Scotland Women by six wickets at Dubai. After restricting Scotland to 99/8 in 20 overs, the Caribbean side chased the target in just 11.4 overs, losing four wickets in the process.
Afy Fletcher's three-wicket haul stifles Scotland
West Indies' spinner Afy Fletcher was the standout performer, claiming three crucial wickets for just 22 runs. Fletcher's disciplined bowling in the middle overs broke the backbone of Scotland's batting lineup. She dismissed key players Ailsa Lister (26), Priyanaz Chatterji (0), and captain Kathryn Bryce (25), ensuring that Scotland couldn't accelerate their scoring after a solid start.
Qiana Joseph's counter-attack leads West Indies to victory
West Indies lost early wickets in the chase, with their top order faltering. However, Qiana Joseph's counter-attacking knock of 31 runs off 18 balls turned the game in favor of her team. She helped West Indies recover from the loss of three wickets within single digits, setting up the chase for Deandra Dottin (28*) and Chinelle Henry (18*) to finish off the game with ease.

Kathryn Bryce and Ailsa Lister's partnership not enough for Scotland
Scotland’s captain Kathryn Bryce (25) and wicketkeeper-batter Ailsa Lister (26) forged a crucial 46-run partnership for the third wicket after early setbacks. Despite their efforts, Scotland struggled to build momentum, with the West Indies bowlers applying constant pressure. A few dropped catches gave them brief hope, but ultimately, they were unable to post a competitive total.
West Indies finished the chase in 11.4 overs, securing a much-needed victory and gaining confidence for the upcoming matches in the tournament.
