One done, onto the next one - It's a triple header Tuesday at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, 2026 and we are just getting started. Up next, another exciting clash is waiting as Sri Lanka Women go up against Ireland Women at the same Bristol County Ground. Our buildup has already begun and the toss is just about to happen. Switch over to that matchcenter and catch every update live. But from here, that is a wrap. Ta-ta. Cheers!
White Ferns outshine the Scots - The defending champions keep themselves well and truly alive in the competition with two back-to-back wins. And now, with confidence oozing through the group, they will head to The Oval for their biggest challenge as they face England Women on Saturday, 27th June, 2026. That will be their final league game, and a must-win as well to make it to the next stage. As for Scotland Women, they become the fourth team to get eliminated from the World Cup, after Pakistan, the Netherlands and Ireland. With nothing to lose and only to gain, they will take a trip to Manchester where they will face Sri Lanka at the Old Trafford, on Friday, 26th June, 2026.
The victorious captain of New Zealand Women - Amelia Kerr, when asked whether they were satisfied to keep Scotland to 131, says she is happy to have kept them down to that total, crediting her team for pulling things back after a great start from the opposition. She is generous in her praise for Darcey Carter, calling it an amazing innings. She feels that with around four overs to go, New Zealand pulled things back really nicely. On the fielding errors, she calls it a bit of a mixture again, admitting they have not quite put it all together yet. But she takes heart from the fact that they are now winning these close games where earlier they were losing them, calling it a better sign. She adds that there is still room to improve, and if they are five percent better in the field, they are potentially chasing 120 rather than 131. On losing three early wickets in the powerplay, Kerr says it is not ideal but shifts the focus straight to Izzy Sharp, calling it a special knock from a young player. She says she has watched Sharp in the nets and at Super Smash for a long time and genuinely believes she has the potential to be one of New Zealand's best ever and one of the best in the world. She calls today's innings from such a young player absolutely brilliant. On the upcoming clash against England at The Oval, Kerr says the whole group is excited. She describes The Oval as a great place to play cricket, noting that today's surface was a touch slower but The Oval is usually a belter. With a sellout crowd and the host nation on the other side, she says it is all to play for.
The captain of Scotland Women - Kathryn Bryce feels Scotland were good with the bat but admits that they left around 20 runs out there in that tough final period. On the overall performance, she is massively pleased, saying they did well to post those runs and had a couple of chances in the field that, had they stuck, could have opened the game right up. She calls it a good effort regardless. On adjusting to the conditions, she notes the boundaries were bigger and the surface a touch slower compared to Headingley, making it hard to judge initially, but she feels New Zealand adapted well to it. When she is asked about what made the difference today, Bryce points to the batting performance and the early wickets in the Powerplay. She says Scotland have struggled to take wickets in the Powerplay, and getting them today allowed them to squeeze New Zealand and build pressure. On some words for Darcey Carter's knock, she is full of admiration, calling it absolutely fantastic. She recalls that Carter had a big score against West Indies but was disappointed with how she finished that innings. Bryce says she clearly learned from it today and is really happy for her.
... Time to hear it from the two captains ...
Carter fought a lone battle - Darcey Carter's unbeaten 72 gave Scotland something to defend, but the innings told a tale of two halves. She struggled early, found her groove as the ball aged on a slow and low wicket, and attacked through the powerplay and into the middle overs. But from the second drinks break onwards, Scotland lost the plot. Placed nicely at 96/2 after 14 overs, they managed just 35/5 in the final six, with Carter starved of strike. Wickets tumbled at the other end as Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr ripped through with double-wicket overs, hauling New Zealand back from what once looked like a 150-plus chase. The fielding was sloppy again, but New Zealand would have still fancied chasing a middling 132, which, in the end, they did.
The Halliday-Sharp alliance gets the job done - Backs against the wall, Brooke Halliday and Izzy Sharp put their hands up when it mattered most. They kept it simple, did the basics right, turned ones into twos, and peppered the innings with the odd boundary rather than going for glory. That calm, measured approach shut the door on any collapse. Scotland's generous bowling gave them a little room to breathe, and when the moment came, the Kiwis found another gear and pushed the accelerator. The two stitched together a crucial 101-run partnership and never really gave Scotland a sniff of a way back into the game.
The Scots land the early blow - New Zealand were handed big blows first up as Kathryn Bryce exacted the revenge by sending her opposite number, Amelia Kerr, who promoted herself to open, but that didn't work out for them. With captain Bryce striking twice in the Powerplay, the Kiwi openers were sent back in just 26 balls. Rachel Slater then prised out Devine, and suddenly the Kiwis were 26/3. Sophie's wicket set the cat amongst the pigeons, with New Zealand in desperate need of a stable partnership. The target was never daunting enough to panic, but Scotland displayed impressive fight to choke the middle order.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Izzy Sharp receives the award for her match-winning knock. She notched up her maiden T20I fifty, eventually scoring 62 (43), which proved more than enough for her team to get through. On being promoted to bat at number 3, Sharp says batting at this position was simply about grabbing the opportunity and making the most of it, adding that she thoroughly enjoyed the role. When asked about her partnership with Halliday, she reveals the plan was simple, to be there together until the 14th over with the run rate taking a back seat. Once they hit that mark, she says, they were able to open up and accelerate.
The Kiwis breathe for another day - A convincing win for New Zealand in the end, though Scotland tested them all the way and their efforts deserve to be praised as well. But that is where experience of playing on the bigger stage makes all the difference, and the White Ferns prove it so. The defending champions get to four points and have prevented themselves from getting knocked out. Tough luck for Scotland. They showed a lot of heart throughout the campaign and played some impressive cricket, but when those crucial moments arrived, they could not quite grab them. This tournament will serve as a big learning curve though, and they will be back stronger for it.

Izzy Sharp tries to go for a big hoick and finish it in style, but misses it as the ball goes beneath her bat and rattles over the top of leg. Izzy Sharp departs after a fine knock.

Kirstie Gordon To Izzy Sharp
Short, on leg, Izzy Sharp gets low and looks to slog it but misses and gets a blow on her body. An appeal but nothing from the umpire. Kirstie Gordon sends it upstairs to have a check. Nothing on Ultra Edge and Ball Tracking shows that it was going over the leg pole. The onfield decision stands NOT OUT. The batters collect a leg bye.
Review time! Scotland have opted for a review for LBW, challenging the on-field decision. It looks adjacent, but height might be the issue here, and the ball seems to have beaten the outside edge as well. UltraEdge comes up and it looks tight as the TV umpire requests to check the replay several times. No bat involved. Onto Ball Tracking now. Pitching in line, but the ball is missing the leg stump on height. NOT OUT!

Back of a length, outside off, angling away. Brooke Halliday swings hard to thrash it past covers, but the ball leaves her to beat the outside edge.
DRINKS BREAK. After the loss of three early wickets, New Zealand Women have done well to pull things back into their favour. The partnership between Sharp and Halliday now moves to 57 runs and they just need 49 from in the last six overs. With the likes of Green and Bates yet to come to bat, they would be confident to get the job done. They would rather be happy to do that without losing a wicket as that will help their net run rate as well. As far as Scotland Women are concerned, they have displayed good fight, but they are not winning this without taking ten Kiwi wickets. But a wicket or two in the next couple of overs might really set the panic into the Kiwi camp. Hannah Rainey (2-0-16-0) will bowl after the break.

Rachel Slater To Brooke Halliday
Too full, on leg, Brooke Halliday flicks it through backward square leg for a brace.
DRINKS! This is not the first time New Zealand Women have lost 3 wickets inside the Powerplay, but now the pressure is on them. It is a do-or-die for both sides, as the loser will get knocked out of the World Cup. The White Ferns desperately need a partnership, and the experience of Suzie Bates down the order will certainly help them, but they can't keep losing wickets. Scotland Women have their tails up and will look to continue the good work. Also, Brooke Halliday is the next batter in.

Rachel Slater To Sophie Devine OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Rachel Slater gets a wicket now and it's a body blow to New Zealand as Devine falls. Hard length, on middle, shaping in. Sophie Devine winds up and a big shot but the ball sneaks through her bat and her pad and rattles over the stumps. New Zealand Women are 26/3 after 5.1 overs.
New Zealand Women are in some trouble and they need a gritty stand.

OUT! TAKEN! Kathryn Bryce draws first blood and this is a massive wicket for Scotland Women. Fuller delivery, on middle, angling in a bit. Amelia Kerr looks to loft it down the ground but gets it from the bottom half of the bat and towards mid on, where Darcey Carter moves to her left and takes a good catch. The move to send Kerr to open has not worked out for the White Ferns.
Tidy start from Kirstie Gordon. Kathryn Bryce to share the attack.
