Scotland were defeated by 90 runs in their penultimate match of the tournament and have an outside chance at making the World Cup proper if they can defeat United States on Sunday, but USA can overtake them on net run rate by beating Thailand late game. Top four in Super Six table qualify to compete at England beginning 12 June while top two automatically qualify – however a late victory by Ireland against Netherlands may rob them out altogether and send Scotland home instead.

England will host Scotland and Ireland in Group 2, joining Australia, India, South Africa and New Zealand as qualification quartet in Group 1.

After being defeated in their opening match against Ireland Women, Scotland Women made up for it by defeating Thailand Women in their next fixture and going on to secure first place in the tournament. Scotland skipper Kathryn Bryce is expected to continue her impressive play against Japan Women.
Bangladesh Women have been impressive so far in this tournament and currently top the points table with an unblemished record. Their strong batting has been central to their success – Nigar Sultana, Sharmin Akhter, Sobhana Mostary, Fargana Hoque, Rabeya Khan and Sanjida Akter Maghla among them are key scorers while Shorna Akter, Fahima Khatun and Ritu Moni should be kept an eye out for when bowling against them.
