Scotland slipped to a 16-run defeat to Bangladesh in their first ever Women's T20 World Cup match and the 2024 tournament opener in the searing heat of Sharjah. Saskia Horley picked up three wickets at the back end of the Bangladesh innings to limit them to 119-7 from their 20 overs and though Sarah Bryce anchored the chase with a fine 49 not out from 52 balls, Scotland lost regular wickets at the other end to fall short of their victory target.
Fraser saw off Shathi, while a run out did for Taj Nehar four balls later, gone for a duck. A sharp stumping from Sarah Bryce ended Mostary's knock, while she would claim another late in the innings - Ritu Moni falling off a far more flukey ricochet onto the stumps - as part of Horley's late haul. Scotland were left to chase 120, but they could have been left with an even more modest target but for putting down three catches in a sloppy fielding effort.
