A century partnership inside ten overs between Ellyse Perry and Georgia Voll set Australia on their way to a big total after Beth Mooney was dismissed first ball of the match. No challenge from Pakistan after Muneeba Ali ran out two of her partners and another down the order went the same way - coaches pictured heads in hands. Total capitulation as the last five wickets tumble for just 12 runs.

A superb innings by Darcy Carter was not enough to claim the win for her side as Kiwi pair Izzy Sharp and Brooke Halliday added 101 after Kathryn Bryce had removed both openers in her first two over. New Zealand live to fight another day.

Sri Lanka were reduced to 9-3 by a Hayley Matthews opening spell, claiming all three in her first two overs. From there 98 represented a reasonable final total which they fought hard to defend but Stefanie Taylor's unbeaten 26 saw the Windies home and a 3 wins from three record.

No doubt who the Player of the Match is today - Marizanne Kapp blasted 81* off just 45 deliveries to claim the win for her side.

Australia were put into bat in their game against the Dutch in Southampton, with the Aussies making 219-6 from their 20 overs. Beth Mooney top scored with 74 before she retired hurt with Ash Gardner (58) and Georgia Wareham (41) also contributing. Iris Zwilling (3-52) was the pick of the bowlers for the Netherlands.The Netherlands lost both openers early in their reply, and from then on didn't really try to chase their big target, instead batting out their overs. Babette de Leede and Sterre Kalis added 96 for the third wicket before the latter was out for 44 in the final over. De Leede finished unbeaten on 56 out of the Dutch total of 121-3, a 98 run win for the Aussies.

Freya Kemp and Dani Gibson plundered 59 runs off the final 3 overs of the England innings. Kemp's 39* came off 16 balls and Gibson's 30* off 11. A quick start to the chase by Scotland but Katherine Fraser and Kathryn Bryce are bowled sweeping at Dean and Ecclestone. Carter swings across the line and is bowled by Ecclestone and the required rate which started at 10s is already up over 12 - 73-3 at the halfway stage. Wickets tumble and the Scots have no one to match the power hitting of Kemp and Gibson but Pippa Sproul and Kirstie Gordan gave it a real go with a 47 run partnership for the seventh wicket.

Prendergast and Stokell both fall to Melie Kerr in the eighteenth over leaving Ireland needing 25 off the final two overs. Lewis skies to Suzie Bates at extra cover in the nineteenth - no one able to do for Ireland what Bates did at the back end of the Kiwi innings, hitting the final delivery for 6. Fifteen required off the final over to be bowled by Bates and 10 doesn't do the job.

The Netherlands lost their last 5 wickets for the addition of only 1 run in the space of 9 balls.

Two wickets in Kapp's opening overs and a third in her second rocked Pakistan who had opted to bat first. Their cause was not helped with three chaotic run-outs but skipper Fatima Sana and Tuba Hassan added 71 for the ninth wicket to give her side a total to defend. Annerie Dercksen takes 21 off the fifth over after a watchful start, helped by some awful Pakistan fielding. Second T20I half century for Annerie Dercksen (51*) from 32 balls - 7 fours, 2 sixes. Kapp given out stumped - don't think she's too enamoured with the decision. One brings two as Dercksen goes. Little wobble for SA. Five down and 34 still needed. Having reached 107 for 5 at drinks they lose a wicket straight after. Could there be a late twist? Pakistan fielding and catching has been abysmal. If they had been on it, this could have been a win for them. It's getting nervy with 8 down. South Africa far from convincing but get the win.

An improved performance saw Ireland battle bravely as they tried to defend 118 with two wickets apiece for Aimee Maguire and Orla Prendergast. In the end not enough runs allied with England's depth and experience meant a four-wicket loss and still looking for that elusive first World Cup win.

Scotland produced a commanding display to defeat Ireland by 40 runs in their Women’s T20 World Cup Group 2 clash in Manchester, brutally exposing an Irish side that struggled to cope with the occasion. The foundation of Scotland’s 161-5 was a superb third-wicket partnership of 106 between the Bryce sisters. Captain Kathryn Bryce led from the front with an excellent 60 from just 39 balls, striking six fours and a six, while Sarah Bryce contributed 49 from 35 deliveries, including four boundaries and a maximum. Ava Canning was Ireland’s standout bowler, claiming 3-27. Ireland’s reply never gathered momentum as the required rate steadily climbed. Amy Hunter battled hard for a top score of 39, hitting five fours, while Orla Prendergast made 33, but neither could produce the sustained acceleration needed to threaten Scotland’s total. Any hopes of an Irish recovery were effectively ended by Kirstie Gordon, who ripped through the middle order with three wickets in a decisive over on her way to figures of 3-16. Kathryn Fraser also claimed 3-19, while skipper Kathryn Bryce capped a fine all-round performance with 2-19. As Ireland were dismissed for 121 in the 20th over, Scotland secured a deserved victory. Ireland now have plenty to ponder ahead of a daunting encounter with England on Tuesday.
