West Indies Women Form

West Indies defeated Scotland by 7 runs in their second match of the Women's T20 World Cup at Headingley, Leeds. After posting 154, West Indies survived a spirited Scotland run-chase, limiting them to 146 all out to secure their second consecutive win of the tournament.

Stafanie Taylor rescued the Windies from a shaky 85/5, scoring a blistering 47* off 19 balls. Shemaine Campbelle also contributed a crucial 36 runs.

Aaliyah Alleyne (3/11) and Hayley Matthews (3/19) were the pick of the West Indies bowlers, halting Scotland's momentum in the middle overs.

Sri Lanka Women Form

Sri Lanka bounced back strongly from an earlier defeat to England to pick up their first win of the campaign, securing a historic 4-wicket victory against defending champions New Zealand in their second match of the T20 World Cup, marking Sri Lanka's first-ever Women's T20 World Cup win over the White Ferns. Sri Lanka successfully chased New Zealand's 150/6 with two balls to spare.

An unbeaten half-century from Nilakshika Silva guided the team to the target despite a middle-order wobble where New Zealand took 4 wickets for just 10 runs.

Hayley Matthews has scored 20, 48, 50, 48, 79, and 132 and taken 7 wickets with an economy rate of 5.45 in her last 6 matches.
