Australia opened their Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup with a dominating nine-wicket win over Scotland in the Group D game in Bangi, Malaysia.
Fast bowler Caoimhe Bray starred with figures of 3 for 1 in 3.2 overs while left-arm quick Eleanor Larosa and left-arm legspinner Hasrat Gill shared five wickets among them to help Australia skittle Scotland for a mere 48 in 15.1 overs. Australia chased down the target in 6.4 overs with opener Katy Pelle remaining unbeaten on 29 off 18 balls.
In Kuching, rain played spoilsport with the match between Samoa and Nigeria abandoned without a single ball bowled. The Pakistan–USA fixture also ended similarly in Johor, with the match abandoned without a ball being bowled.
Meanwhile, in the Ireland–England match in Johor, England rode wicketkeeper-batter Jemima Spence‘s 37 not out off 27 balls and Charlotte Lambert’s 14-ball 25 to post a competitive 144 for 7. Ireland were put under pressure when they lost two early wickets inside four overs, however, rain forced the game to end in no result.
