Time for the Post-match Presentation
Laura Delany: I thought at the half-way mark that it would be a tight game. Fair-play to Kathryn Bryce for her knock. We probably didn't have enough runs on the board anyway and the no-balls killed us. We have done certain things very well and there are areas we have to work on. A rest day will do us good.
Kathryn Bryce: It was amazing to get over the line like that. It wasn't my best innings initially but I tried to get through that period. I tried to re-set my targets and get some intensity into the innings. The first two games were going to be hard and it is fantastic to win today.
That is it!! Kathryn Bryce ha smoked it over long-on for a maximum to loud cheers from the Scottish camp!! Why not? Scotland have upset Ireland by five wickets and an over to spare. Scotland got off to the worst possible start as Lorna Jack was dismissed by Ava Canning in the second over. Canning came back to dismiss Sarah Bryce in the fifth over as Scotland struggled at 8-2 after 4.1 overs. The score soon became 20-4 after 8.5 overs as both Katie McGill and Megan McColl were dismissed back to back by Eimear Richardson.
The experienced duo of Kathryn Bryce and Abbi Aitken-Drummond tried to build a partnership but the latter chipped a Cara Murray delivery to mid-off as Scotland lost half their side in the 14th over. At the other end, Kathryn continued to struggle as she piled up a lot of dot deliveries. However, Becky Glen came in and provided the necessary injection with a couple of boundaries and constant strike rotation. The match turned from the 16th over as Cara Murray conceded ten runs. Soon, Kathryn Bryce also caught up and started to strike a few boundaries and even rare maximums. In the end, it was one such six that sealed the game for Scotland too.

Leah Paul
0/20
18.6 Leah Paul to Kathryn Bryce, SIX! BRYCE FINISHES IT OFF IN STYLE AND LEADS HER SIDE TO THE TOP OF THE TABLE! WHAT A KNOCK FROM THE SKIPPER! Tossed up tempter on a length, Bryce danced down the track to maul this back over the bowler's head. Long-on and long-off in place, but Bryce cleared them rather comfortably! Showing once again, why she is the ICC Associates player of the decade. What a low-scoring thriller we've had here today. Scotland win by 5 wickets!
18.5 Leah Paul to Becky Glen, once again its at a back of a length outside off, Glen slaps it towards extra-cover for a single
18.4 Leah Paul to Becky Glen, it's on the shortish length once more, Glen stays deep in her crease to pull this into the gap at cow corner to return for a couple
18.3 Leah Paul to Kathryn Bryce, a touch short once more, Bryce rocks back to pull this towards deep mid-wicket to keep the singles flowing
18.2 Leah Paul to Becky Glen, tossed up delivery on the stumps, Glen waits on it before whacking it uppishly towards long-on, well short of the fielder for a single
18.1 Leah Paul to Kathryn Bryce, a tad short angling into the leg-stump, Bryce rocks back to pull this towards deep mid-wicket to inch closer to the target, that's into single digits now
What an over for Scotland. Ten runs off it. They need ten more from 12 balls
Oh!! A game-changing maximum from Kathryn Bryce. She slog-swept Eimear Richardson just over mid-wicket. The wind helped Kathryn on this occasion
