SCOTLAND boosted their chances of qualifying for this month’s Women’s World Cup with a 58-run victory over Thailand in Lahore today.

Kathryn Bryce’s side bounced back from defeat to Pakistan as they look to finish in the top two and secure a place in the tournament.

Bryce led from the front with a 58-ball 60 and was well supported by 57 from Megan McColl as the Scots made 206.

Rachel Slater then made an immediate impact with the ball, removing the top three batters in a superb spell of three for nine from six overs to leave Thailand struggling on 46 for three and they never recovered.

Natthakan Chantham’s 63 was the only resistance as Katherine Fraser and Abtaha Maqsood claimed three wickets each, with Thailand bowled out for 148 in 31.3 overs.
