Captain Kathryn Bryce became Scotland Women’s all-time leading run scorer by hitting an unbeaten half-century to guide her side to a seven-wicket win over the United Arab Emirates at the ICC Women’s Emerging Nations Trophy.
Bryce Breaks Record as Scotland Chases Down 138
Chasing 138-4 set by the host nation, Scotland reached 142-3 with 11 balls to spare at the ICC Women’s Emerging Nations Trophy, as reported by Yahoo Sports. Kathryn Bryce anchored the innings with 51 not out off the bat, hitting seven fours. The captain’s knock brought her international run total to 3,562.
That milestone pushed her one run past Kari Carswell to become Scotland Women’s leading run-scorer. Her sister, Sarah Bryce, contributed 43 runs while batting at number three after the early departure of Darcey Carter in the first over, according to Yahoo Sports reporting.
UAE Innings Anchored by Captain Oza
Batting first, UAE captain Esha Oza led her side with 64 not out as the hosts posted 138-4 in their 20 overs. Heena Hotchandani added 43 runs before becoming one of two batters stumped by wicketkeeper Sarah Bryce off the bowling of Kirstie Gordon, as detailed by the BBC.
Gordon finished with figures of 2-24 for Scotland. Meanwhile, Dharnidharka picked up 2-22 for the UAE during the second-innings defense.
