Scotland booked their place at the Women’s T20 World Cup with a comfortable 41-run win over the United States in the final Super Six qualification game in Nepal.
With the top four going through, the Scots finished third to join Bangladesh, Ireland and the Netherlands at the tournament which is being held in England from 12 June.
Opener Darcey Carter hit 52 as Scotland posted a 178-8 total, with Ailsa Lister adding 43 and Priyanaz Chatterji making 39.
Tara Norris took three wickets for the US, including a rare golden duck for Kathyrn Bryce.
The Scottish skipper shook off the disappointment by removing opener Disha Dhingra in the first over of the Americans’ reply.
Bryce also bowled out Isani Vaghela, with Chatterji and Chloe Abel the others to claim two wickets as the US struggled to keep up with the required run rate.
Once Ella Claridge fell in the 10th over for 35, leaving the US on 67-3, Scotland struck regularly to wrap up the contest with six balls to spare.
