Women's T20 World Cup
Group 1: Australia beat India by 6 wickets.

Lord's, 28 June.
India 170-4 (20 overs; H Kaur 56, S Mandhana 38, S Verma 34, J Rodriques 34 ret.; S Molineux 2-46)
Australia 172-3 (19 overs; E Perry 56, A Gardner 53*, P Lichfield 24, B Mooney 22; S Charani 2-32)
Elysse Perry and Ash Gardner produced a match-winning partnersip
With their continued participation hanging on the result India benefitted from some uncharacteristic lapses in the field to mount a late surge that saw 36 runs come from the final two overs. Chief beneficiary was skipper Harmanpreet Kaur who blasted 56 off just 27 balls (6x4, 3x6) It will take a record chase in World Cups for Australia if they are to chase this down. Chase it down they did - and how! Elysse Perry and Ash Gardner blasting a century partnership off just 57 balls. An Australian record World Cup chase and even an over to spare. A bad day for Indian fans in both London and Belfast - 'A Tale of Two Cities' - "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." The semi-final lineups confirmed as Australia v West Indies on Tuesday and England versus South Africa on Thursday.
Women's T20 World Cup
Group 1: South Africa beat Bangladesh by 4 wickets.

Lord's, 28 June.
Bangladesh 117-5 (20 overs; S Mostary 42, N Sultana 32*, Sharmin Akhter 22; N Mlaba 2-22)
South Africa 118-6 (19.2 overs; A Dercksen 45, T Brits 20; N Akter 2-24)
Perfect start for Kapp with Ferdous bowled first ball
A win for South Africa plus an Australian victory over India later today would see the Proteas into the semi-finals and India on the plane home. Well that's the first part of the equation complete. A very nervy win for South Africa and a gutsy defence of their moderate total by Bangladesh. Wickets off the first balls of each innings must be some sort of World Cup record you would imagine. The pitch is slow with a little bit of spin evident and the bounce is low, it will be interesting what Australia and India make of it later.
Women's T20 World Cup
Group 2: England beat New Zealand by 9 wickets.

The Oval, 27 June.
New Zealand 163-6 (20 overs; M Kerr 42, S Devine 30, I Gaze 28, B Halliday 20; D Gibson 2-30)
England 164-1 (17.2 overs; D Wyatt-Hodge 89*, S Dunkley 49*)
Guard of Honour for the Kiwi Three
Kiwi openers add 70 but both gone in consecutive balls - Izzy Gaze to the last ball of the tenth over and Melie Kerr to the first of the eleventh. Disaster as Izzy Sharp drags on two balls later without scoring. Three maximums in a 14 ball 30 from Sophie Devine boosted the rate and better than a run-a-ball contributions from Brooke Halliday and Suzie Bates (19) carried the Kiwis to a respectable total. Not a given for England but they will be favourites to chase this down. Well how emphatic was that - an unbroken 128 run partnership between Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Sophia Dunkley seeing England to the win with almost three overs to spare. The end of the road for New Zealand and the end of the road also for three of their all-time greats, as Sophie Devine, Suzie Bates and Lea Tahuhu head into retirement. Ireland's win earlier in the day meant that New Zealand had their fate in their own hands, but it will be the Windies who will progress along with England who finish the group unbeaten and look a formidable force heading into the home straight.

Group 1: Pakistan beat Netherlands 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.
Canada v Netherlands - no result.

Namibia lost to Scotland by 7 wickets.

Windhoek, 12 April.
Namibia 198 (49 overs; L Steenkamp 67, JJ Smit 43, J Frylinck 22; B McMullen 3-47, M Watt 2-21, O Davidson 2-28, J Jarvis 2-29)
Scotland 199-3 (38 overs; B McMullen 100 ret, R Berrington 43, M Watt 27*; R Trumpelmann 2-53)
Namibia recovered from 89 for 5 to post 198 thanks primarily to a 6th wicket stand of 87 between top-scorer Louren Steenkamp 67 (professional at Coleraine) and skipper JJ Smit who made 43. The wickets were shared with three for McMullen and two apiece for Watt, Davidson and Jarvis. Rueben Trumpelmann struck two early blows to leave the contest evenly poised after the first powerplay. McMullen and Berrington put Scotland in total control with a third wicket stand of 112 and it should be plain sailing despite the stand being broken by Myburgh. Just 66 needed from 24 overs with seven wickets left. A deserved 100 from Brandon McMullen who hit 9 fours and 4 sixes in his 92-ball knock before retiring. No doubt about the result or the Man of the Match now. Mark Watt (27*) and Matty Cross (14*) ensure there is no late drama as Scotland end their tour on a high with a seven-wicket win.
Namibia beat Oman by 1 wicket.

Muhammad Imran celebrates after claiming his fifth wicket
With the recent rain making playing conditions at the Wanderers problematic to say the least, the final two games in the series are being played at the Namibia Cricket Ground. That hasn't phased Hammad Mirza who followed up his unbeaten century last time out against Namibia with 81 today, while for the hosts 21 year old Jack Brassell claimed the first four wickets to fall and finished with an excellent 4-22 from his ten over spell. Slow going for Oman after being asked to bat posting a vulnerable looking 218 in their 50 overs. Malan Kruger gone early in the chase but an 81 run second wicket partnership between Willem Myburg and Jan Frylinck, who added a further 52 for the third with Gerhard Erasmus eased the hosts within sight of victory. But with Muhammad Imran completing a 'five-for' and a late brace from Hassnain Shah it came down to 19 required off the final 3 overs with just 2 wickets in hand. A wicket for leg-spinner Shrivastava first ball off the eighteenth brought last man Jack Brassell to the crease to join Zane Green who took 10 off the first two balls of Shah's ninteenth over. Seven required from the last from Shrivastava and Green sweeps for 2, reverse sweeps for 2 and reverse sweeps a 6 to claim the nailbiting revenge victory for Namibia by the narrowest of margins.
Oman beat Scotland by 12 runs.

Wanderers, Windhoek, 8 April.
Oman 163-7 (20 overs; J Singh 51, A Odedara 43, S Ahmed 23*; M Leask 2-18, J Jarvis 2-32, S Sharif 2-37)
Scotland 151-9 (20 overs; M Cross 24, R Berrington 23, B McMullen 22; H Shah 4-26, S Shirivastava 2-27)
Rain has plagued this series in Windhoek and today was no different with a long delay before any play was possible. When it finally started the match had been reduced to 20 overs per side and the conditions far from perfect, with equal amounts of sawdust and grass visible on the outfield. Scotland elected to field and but saw Jatinder Singh and Ashish Odedara give Oman a flying start adding exactly 100 in the opening 10 overs. Once the breakthrough had been made Scotland clawed their way back into the game taking wickets and stifling any chance of a second half surge by the middle and late order. Scotland struggled to match the early Omani momentum and had lost half the side for 75 in nine overs. No wag from the tail as they perished in the deep giving Hassnain Shah a four wicket haul. Two 'no-results' and a defeat for the Scots so far in this series who have suffered from the weather more that anyone in this WCL2 campaign.
Oman v Scotland - no result.

Oman 274-7 (49.1 overs; H Mizra 112*, W Ali 62, M Ali 43; M Heingo 3-59, G Erasmus 2-54, J Brassell 2-61)
Runs all down the order for Namibia with a late flurry from Zane Green and Dylan Leicher saw the hosts post what they hoped would be a defendable total in the still soggy conditions at the Wanderers. Three wickets for seamer Hassnain Shah and two for the slow left arm spin of Shakeel Ahmed the best of the Omani efforts with the ball. An unbeaten century from Hammad Mizra who added 124 in a sixth wicket partnership with Wasim Ali saw Oman claim the points, MIzra finishing the match in style with a maximum off the first ball of Heingo's final over.

Namibia 189-8 (46.4 overs; L Steenkamp 78, Z Green 62; J Jarvis 3-35, M Watt 2-25, S Sharif 2-39)
Scotland
A 124 run fifth wicket partnership between Louren Steenkamp and Zane Green rescued Namibia from a precarious 36-4 having been asked to bat by Scotland. A real struggle against the Scottish seamers early on with the opening 10 overs producing only 27 runs for the loss of Myburgh, Kruger and Frylinck. Scotland frustrated by that partnership and finally by the rain that saw them unable to chase what looked like being a below par score total from the hosts.
