    Fraser dropped on 14

    Another lifeline for Scotland. Fraser drives into the off side and a diving Jannillea Glasgow struggles to get off the ground and can only palm it down to the long-off boundary.

    It's a tougher chance but one that probably should have been taken.

    Oh no! That should have been taken. Maybe the wicketkeeper should have taken it.

    Oh dear! Darcey Carter top-edges Hayley Matthews. It goes high and behind the wicketkeeper, and Qiana Joseph drops an absolute sitter. You can't drop those. Not at this level. Not at any level, really.

    This has given West Indies chance to get together and talk.

  5. Sco 34-0

    Carter 18, Fraser 13

    Darcey Carter has been on it so far this innings but appears to have cramped up a little, prompting an impromptu drinks break for both teams.

    This is how you take advantage of a powerplay and what West Indies should have done. Hayley Matthews didn't play a shot in anger. These two are batting as though they don't care about getting out. They're swinging and swinging hard.

  7. Sco 33-0

    More runs.

    A change of bowling as Aaliyah Alleyne is introduced to the attack, but Darcey Carter shows no mercy with a wristy flick over mid-on for four.

    Dream start for the Scots.

  8. Scotland's worm is flying!

    This is so good from Scotland.

  10. Sco 27-0

    Darcey Carter gets in on the act with three boundaries in the over.

    The opener clears her leg and clubs Deandra Dottin down to the deep mid-wicket boundary.

    Dotting - playing in her 150th T20 international - sports a frustrated figure as Carter cuts her into the off side for four more.

    A wide deliver outside the off stump is given the treatment it deserves with another well-timed boundary.

    A sensational start for the Scots.

    Scotland have really laid a marker down here.

  12. Sco 14-0

    Target 154 runs

    We talked about momentum earlier and Scotland are in the runs early on.

    A thick outside edge sends the ball crashing down to the fine leg boundary for four more to Katherine Fraser.

    She follows that with a mistimed drive into the off side which falls between two fielders.

    Fourteen from the over - just what Scotland ordered.

  13. Annesha Ghosh
    India cricket journalist on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That is a glorious shot from Katherine Fraser. Straight along the carpet.

  14. Sco 6-0

    Having missed out on the free-hit and being caught after skying it, Katherine Fraser drills the ball straight down the ground for a superb boundary. Positive start.

  15. Sco 1-0

    Chinelle Henry looks like she means business with a big, old Grimace. But she begins with a wayward wide down the legside. In fact, it's been also called a no ball. Scotland are up and running and have a free-hit.

  16. Sco 0-0

    Scotland need 154 runs to win

    Darcey Carter and Katherine Fraser - who took that fantastic catch earlier this evening - are out in the middle.

    Game on.

  17. What is the T20 skill scale?

    The T20 skill scale used at the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup is a metric used to rate players' playing styles based on certain aspects of their game.

    Designed by cricket data experts CricViz and in collaboration with the International Cricket Council, the skill scale ratings are regularly shown by the ICC in television coverage of major tournaments.

    In essence, it is designed to show viewers how a player performs and what their strengths and weaknesses are based on previous performances.

    A new version of the skill scale was designed specifically for this World Cup in England and Wales.

    Martin: To see Glasgow scoring a boundary against Scotland had me confused for a second.

    I think this is close to a winning score. Considering where they were, 153 is not bad. It will be difficult for Scotland.

  20. Thank you, Matt.

    Well, have Scotland let that slip away? Momentum is certainly with the West Indies but all it takes is a blistering start and it will swing back in favour of Kathryn Bryce's side.
