SA-W vs SCO-W

That is all we have from this contest as my colleague, Bidipto and I, Lavil Saldanha take your leave. Switch tabs to follow Team India's game against Sri Lanka which begins in some time. Do check Sportskeeda for the latest in the world of sports. SEE YA!

Laura Wolvaardt (captain, South Africa): Can't ask for a better game. A good first half with the bat followed by the ball. We were a bit confused about what to do at the toss. The batting order has been tough to decide. We got the runs on the board and wanted to kill the game and happy to have done so. Every day has been different, it has been nice to have so many options in pace and spin. Massive game for us, we need a win after having lost the last one and hopefully we hit the ground running in that contest

Kathryn Bryce (captain, Scotland): It is the little moments throughout the game. We put down chances when bowling and lost wickets when batting that put us behind in the contest. Usually your are not under too much pressure and to execute that time and again could be tough. It is great to share the knowledge and share the field against them. They are a really good side. It is going to be tough but Sharjah is going have different conditions. We will have a discussion about it soon

It's time for the post-match presentation!

Marizanne Kapp (Player of the Match, 43 runs off 24 balls): The wicket was a bit slower today, and the heat and the humidity were not helping either. But luckily, it came off for me! It's more a confidence thing for me, focusing on the basics and getting the job done. It was a good total yes, but I still think we could have pushed towards the 180-mark or even 190. Anyway, we'll take the win. 

South Africa beat Scotland by 80 runs 

Scotland: 86 all out in 17.5 overs

Katherine Fraser: 14(21b) | Ailsa Lister: 12(13b)
Nonkululeko Mlaba: 3/12 (4 overs) |  Nadine de Klerk: 2/15 (3.5 overs)

A mammoth victory for South Africa as they top the group and knock out Scotland with this heavy defeat. The Proteas Women have boosted their chances of qualification and will hope that the other fixtures in the group go their way.

Scotland started off poorly by losing early wickets in the powerplay. Bryce sisters and Saskia Horley failed to make an impact on this contest. They lost wickets at regular intervals with only Katherine Fraser making a big contribution with the bat in hand towards the fag end of the game. They will now wait in anticipation for their last league game and hope to end their tournament with a win.

Nonkululeko Mlaba seems to enjoy the venue as with a three-fer in this game, she has picked up seven wickets in two contests now. Nadine de Klerk and Chloe Tryon aided her really well two wickets to their name with the others, barring Marizanne Kapp chipping in with a wicket each

17.5 Nadine de Klerk to Abtaha Maqsood, THE CATCH IS TAKEN! SOUTH AFRICA WOMEN GET THE JOB DONE! Good length off-cutter around off-stump. Abtaha went for the big heave from the front foot across the line and top-edged it. But Mlaba moved forwards from the short third position, dived and took a lovely catch just a few inches off the ground! 

Abtaha Maqsood c Nonkululeko Mlaba b Nadine de Klerk 7 (13b, 0x4, 0x6)

Mlaba gets the ninth wicket to fall and picks up her third wicket of the contest. So far, she has seven wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and should South Africa qualify for the semi finals here, she will have a ball rolling her arms over at this venue

16.6 Nonkululeko Mlaba to Olivia Bell, AH! Good length ball around off-stump that turns away. This gets accidentally patted away past the left of short third for a brace. 

16.4 Nonkululeko Mlaba to Olivia Bell, good length ball on leg-stump here. Another miss of the work on to the on-side from the crease, no leg-bye. 

16.3 Nonkululeko Mlaba to Olivia Bell, full on leg-stump and maybe just outside. A miss of the clip around to the on-side from the crease, no leg-bye. 

16.2 Nonkululeko Mlaba to Olivia Bell, short around off-stump. This turns away as Bell pokes it away on the back foot through the line. And inevitably, she misses! 

16.1 Nonkululeko Mlaba to Katherine Fraser, round the wicket, ANOTHER FINE CATCH HERE! Good length flighted delivery around off-stump. Fraser wanted to smash this over mid-off and ended up outside-edging it. Bosch at backward point dived forward on time and took a brilliant catch inches off the ground!
