Scotland booked their place in the Women's T20 World Cup Super Six stage with a commanding 72-run victory over hosts Nepal. The win, secured in Kirtipur, was built on Priyanaz Chatterji's unbeaten 45 and a disciplined bowling attack that dismissed Nepal for just 68 runs.

Recovering from an early two-wicket loss, Scotland posted a competitive 140 before their bowlers took control. Spinner Abtaha Maqsood claimed 3-14, with five bowlers sharing the wickets. The result leaves Scotland top of Group B, though the Netherlands could still win the section.

With this fourth group win, Scotland now advance to the Super Six, where the top four teams will qualify for the main event in England this June. They join Bangladesh, Ireland, and the United States from Group A in the next phase.
