West Indies lost to Scotland by 11 runs
Lahore CCA, 9 April.



Three wickets for Hayley Matthews in her first three overs rocked the Scots with Sarah Bryce and Megan McColl doing the rebuilding. 5th wicket stand of 82 ended by Matthews again but Scotland strongly placed to put a decent total on the board. Early wicket for Darcy Carter but Hayley Matthews and Zaida James carried the Windies through to the first drinks break. Hayley Matthews in control but Stefanie Taylor run out, and Chilelle Henry stumped in the same Maqsood over to pile the pressure onto the Windies skipper. She's into the nineties but floored with cramp - and she's off! Another wicket and Scotland must surely be favourites! Matthews return hits a boundary to move to 99, collapses and is stretchered off!! She's back AGAIN and completes her century on one leg and finishes not out - but what a win for the Scots!
Pakistan beat Ireland by 38 runs
Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, 9 April.



Ireland threw away the chance to record a win in their opening fixture with an all too familiar batting collapse. A strong display in the field saw Ireland restrict Pakistan to a sub-par total of 217. Sidra Ameen and Aliya Riaz had added 72 for the third wicket but after their departure the pressure told and they lost their last five wickets for just 23 runs. With both Gaby Lewis and Amy Hunter posting 44 Ireland were well placed in the chase but both fell in quick succession sweeping at spinner Sandhu before Laura Delany followed without scoring in identical fashion to give Sandhu her third. Four wickets falling for 14 runs left Ireland last two wickets requiring fifty runs and that was never going to happen.
Warmup: Ireland beat Thailand by 3 wickets
Lahore, 7 April.



A double wicket maiden by ninth bowler Alana Dalzell swung things Ireland's way after Thailand had reached 149/4 in the 35th over. Amy Hunter and Orla Prendergast go cheaply in a rejigged batting order, but Sarah Forbes did well for her 31 before retiring. Leah Paul and Christine Coulter-Reilly both gone before 100 on the board. Delany and Louise Little restore Ireland's fortunes with what looks will be a match defining sixth wicket partnership of 119 in 20 overs before they both depart - Delany retiring at the same time as Little is dismissed. Arlene Kelly and Ava Canning ensure the win as Ed Joyce's side get a morale boosting win ahead of their first match proper against Pakistan on Wednesday.
Warmup: West Indies beat Ireland by 5 wickets
Lahore, 5 April.



Skipper Gaby Lewis batted fluently to make 45 before retiring, and it was then down to former captain Laura Delany. She made an unbeaten 67 sharing half century stands with Leah Paul and Cara Murray as Ed Joyce's side do well to make 248 for 8. Windies openers Matthews and James added 90 before Cara Murray made the breakthrough. Zia McCartney claimed her first senior scalp and Murray added two more, but the Windies always looked to have things under control easing home with more than eight overs to spare Stephanie Taylor completing a better than a run-a-ball half century. Ireland's final warmup game is on Monday versus Thailand.
