Women’s Cricket Daily – 27 June 2026

Welcome to today’s women’s international cricket update featuring overnight results, today’s matches, breaking news and a look back through history.

News in brief

  • World Cup action continues with Scotland v Sri Lanka. This is the last opportunity for Sri Lanka to make the finals, albeit slim. Scotland have posted a solid 151/6. The match continues. UPDATE: Sri Lanka win by 3 wickets, however the win was not big enough to improve their NRR in order to make the finals. Both Scotland and Sri Lanka have completed their tournament.
  • Scotland’s Darcey Carter is the first player to pass 200 runs in the tournament.
  • Three key games in the World Cup later today: Netherlands v Pakistan – one of those teams will get their first victory of the tournament. (Weather permitting!)
  • Ireland v West Indies is a crucial one for the Windies. A  win here almost guarantees them a finals spot. The Ireland team spirits will no doubt be buoyed by their men’s team defeating India for the first time.
  • And then there’s England v New Zealand. England are already through. New Zealand must win this game handsomely to be in the running for the finals.
  • Friday quiz: can you make the top 10? This week’s quiz: Bowling Spell
  • Check out our calculations. Who will make the finals?
  • Player of the Tournament page continues to heat up.
