New Zealand secured a six-wicket victory over Scotland in Bristol, eliminating the hosts from the Women's T20 World Cup. Chase Carter's unbeaten 72 off 52 balls kept Scotland in contention at 131-7, but Izzy Sharp's 62 and Brooke Halliday's 41* guided the White Ferns to the target with 10 balls to spare.

Carter, a standout performer for Scotland, anchored the innings with eight fours and a six. Her partnership with Sarah Bryce (25 off 22) provided brief resistance. New Zealand's collapse to 26-3 in response to Scotland's total, with both openers falling to catches, threatened their semi-final hopes before Sharp and Halliday stabilized the chase.

Sharp's aggressive strokeplay, including a straight six over long-on, propelled New Zealand toward victory. The win keeps their semi-final aspirations alive, though they must defeat hosts England on June 27 and rely on other results. Scotland's tournament ends despite Carter's heroics, leaving them winless in Group 2.

The result underscores New Zealand's resilience and Scotland's inability to convert individual brilliance into team success. With their semi-final dreams dashed, Scotland exit the tournament winless in Group 2.
