Sun Oct 13 09:50:00 UTC 2024: ## England Dominate Scotland in T20 World Cup Warm-Up Match

**Cape Town, South Africa:** England cruised to a 10-wicket victory over Scotland in their T20 World Cup warm-up match today, chasing down a paltry target of 110 with 10 overs to spare.

Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge led the charge for England, both smashing unbeaten half-centuries in a blistering display of power hitting. Bouchier, in particular, was in sensational form, reaching her 50 off just 30 balls with a series of powerful shots. Wyatt-Hodge, despite struggling with exhaustion, also played her part, contributing a crucial 52 not out.

Scotland, in contrast, never truly recovered from a shaky start, failing to build any significant partnerships. Kathryn Bryce top-scored with 33 off 28 balls, but it wasn’t enough to put up a competitive total.

England’s dominant performance was particularly impressive given the importance of net run rate in the tournament. By chasing down the target in under 10 overs, England significantly boosted their net run rate, potentially putting them in a better position to qualify for the knockout stages.

The victory will give England a massive confidence boost ahead of their opening World Cup match against the West Indies on February 10th.
