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

A rest day in the World Cup yesterday but a triple header is on the way later today, three matches that will have a big impact on the ladders in both Pool A and Pool B.
New Zealand v Scotland – both sides are on 2 points, sitting in 3rd and 4th receptively in Pool B, 4 points adrift of the top two. Chances of making the finals are very slim for both teams. A loss today will be the end of the run for one of them.
Likewise Sri Lanka is on two points in Pool B. Similar situation to West Indies and New Zealand. Win against Ireland today to keep finals hopes alive. Lose and the campaign is over.
Pool A action with Australia v Pakistan, the latter already knocked out and now playing for pride. The Australians will secure a spot in the semis with a win here, taking them to 8 points.
All teams have now played three games which gives our Player of the Tournament page some real data. Marizanne Kapp sits at the top of the table just ahead of Smriti Mandhana and Hayley Matthews.
