Scotland Vs Ireland, Women's T20 World Cup: Bryce Sisters Shine As SCO Secure Dominant 40-Run Victory

In a highly anticipated showdown at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground on June 13, 2026, Scotland secured a dominant 40-run victory over Ireland in their ICC Women’s T20 World Cup group stage clash. Ireland won the toss and elected to bowl first, but the Scottish batting lineup quickly asserted control, posting a formidable total of 161/5 from their 20 overs.

The Scottish innings was anchored by a stellar partnership between the Bryce sisters; Kathryn Bryce smashed a blistering 60 off just 39 balls, while Sarah Bryce contributed a vital 49 off 35 deliveries. Despite a resilient effort from Ireland's bowlers, specifically Ava Canning who claimed three wickets, the target proved too steep.

In response, Ireland struggled to maintain the required run rate against a disciplined Scottish attack. Opener Amy Hunter led the chase with a valiant 39, but the Irish middle order faltered under pressure. Kirstie Gordon and Katherine Fraser were the architects of the collapse, each taking three wickets to stifle the Irish reply. Ireland was eventually bowled out for 121 in 19.1 overs. Kathryn Bryce was deservedly named Player of the Match for her all-round brilliance, steering Scotland to a historic result that keeps their knockout-stage aspirations firmly alive in a competitive Group B.
