Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Points Table: Updated standings after England vs Scotland match 

England have secured their third straight win at the Women's T20 World Cup 2024, and have bolstered their net run-rate in the process to be strong favorites to qualify for the semi-finals. The Heather Knight-led side completed a routine 10-wicket win over Scotland at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday, October 13.

Scotland won the toss and opted to bat first, but could not assert themselves over the potent England bowling unit. Scoring only 29 runs in the powerplay, the Kathryn Bryce-led side struggled to find ways to score runs. A timid effort with the bat resulted in a below-par total of 109-6.

In reply, England went all guns blazing in the chase to increase their net run-rate exponentially. Their approach worked as Maia Bouchier began proceedings with three successive boundaries while England brought up the 50-run mark in just the fifth over, the fastest in the tournament so far.

Even after the fielding restrictions ended, England maintained their approach and reached the 100-run mark in just nine overs. Both Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge scored their respective half-centuries to help their side scale down the target at the halfway mark of the innings.

The aggressive and brute batting display has helped England increase their net run-rate to +1.716, the highest in Group B marginally. They are placed at the top with six points, with a match to spare.

Scotland, on the other hand, finished their campaign with four defeats. The hammering to rivals England, worsens their net run-rate to -3.129.

England to face West Indies on October 15

The fate of Group B will be decided by the final league stage clash between England and the West Indies on Tuesday, October 15, at the Dubai International Stadium. So far, England have played all their group-stage matches at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

A win for England would secure their qualification with eight points, and aid South Africa's cause as they have six points to their name. However, should West Indies win, it will result in a three-way race for two spots on the basis of net run-rate.
