Women's T20 World Cup
Group 1: Netherlands lost to Pakistan by 37 runs.

Bristol, 27 June.
Pakistan 126-6 (20 overs; G Feroza 63*, A Zafar 32; I Zwilling 2-19)
Netherlands 89 (18 overs; B de Leede 30, H Siegers 24; F Sana 3-12, A Zafar 3-13)
Great support even in defeat for the Netherlands
Ayesha Zafar and Gul Feroza added 79 in quick time after the departure of opener Muneeb Ali but otherwise it's been slow going for Pakistan. Netherlands unlucky with Feroza dropped, a wicket, and an Umpire's call going against them in the penultimate over. A wicket and another drop in the twentieth plus an edged boundary gives Pakistan a few more than they deserved. Feroza finishes unbeaten, could her innings be the difference today. Great support for the Dutch who seem to have brought a large contingent of supporters to the tournament - will they have something special to celebrate later? Heather Siegers gives the Dutch a quick start but is lbw as Pakistan review umpire Rathi's not out call and Molkenboer run out by a direct hit in the next over. De Leede and Kalis tried to rebuild but struggled to get any momentum against the spinners. Rate climbing all the time as the Dutch have little to offer other than singles into the legside, and lose wickets attempting even that. Fatima Sana wraps things up with a triple wicket maiden in the eighteenth - easy pickings.
Women's T20 World Cup
Group 2: Sri Lanka beat Scotland by 3 wickets.

Manchester, 26 June.
Scotland 151-6 (20 overs; S Bryce 47*, D Carter 34, A Lister 26, K Bryce 23; M Ayodhya 2-34)
Sri Lanka 154-7 (19.5 overs; C Athapaththu 33, H Samarawickrama 27, H Perera 23, N Silva 21*; K Fraser 2-25, K Bryce 2-28, R Slater 2-31)
Kavishi Dilhari holds a return catch from Kathryn Bryce
A 53 run partnership in just 32 balls between Ailsa Lister and Sarah Bryce boosted Scotland's total in the closing overs to something that might hope to defend. Athapaththu starts the chase where she left of against Ireland blasting 26 in the opening two overs but once she was gone Scotland kept chipping away keeping the scoring rate under control with a run-a-ball from half distance required by Sri Lanka. But tight bowling from the Scots meant 27 were needed off the final three overs. A dropped catch that went for a boundary kept Sri Lanka alive and another four next ball made them favourites only for Slater to follow up with a wicket off the next. 17 off 2 overs with skipper Kathryn Bryce to bowl the nineteenth. Fontenla drops her second catch in as many overs and it's Sri Lanka's to lose with just seven required off the last. Have Scotland let the win quite literally slip through their fingers? Rachel Slater to bowl the last - 1. 1. 'DilScoop over the keeper for 2. Three needed off three but Slater pulls out of delivery - twice! On the ground with the physio working on her left knee. Heads being shaken - off she goes in tears. Sri Lanka have been running everything, so the field needs to be much tighter - it's too easy at the moment. Hit straight to backward point but comfortably home and the next cut away for a boundary. Scotland have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
