England crush Scotland to boost T20 World Cup hopes

Half-centuries from Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge wrapped up an emphatic win in Sharjah, as England chased down Scotland's 109-6 in exactly 10 overs. That pushes them back top of Group B, while they also now have the best net run rate ahead of a clash with the West Indies in their final game.

England are not yet assured of a place in the semi-finals, with the Windies and South Africa both still in contention to finish in the top two, but after a big win, Bouchier is dreaming of going all the way.

The player of the match, who finished on 62 not out, said: “I felt really good, batting with Danni is always very easy. We have an unspoken communication between us. We are thinking if we can stick to our strengths, run well between the wickets, we can get the team to wins.
