She conceded singles in her first three deliveries but was then pulled up and fell to the ground with a suspected knee injury. Slater eventually left the field in tears, but Priyanaz Chatterjee stepped up and conceded a single, but then conceded the winning boundary to Sughandika Kumari at the end.<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka needed to win within 10.3 overs to achieve their best-ever third World Cup win, but their net run rate improved little over the distance and West Indies will be able to seal the second and final semi-final spot in their group by playing unbeaten Ireland on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Scotland, playing their second T20 World Cup, finished fifth in their group but were aiming for fourth place and direct qualification to the 2028 T20 World Cup in Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>However, after her sister and captain Kathryn went down with 66-2 in 10 overs, only Sarah Blyth hit the final ball boundary with an unbeaten 33-ball 47 to leave the Sri Lankans sweating with a total of 151-6.<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka captain Chamari Atapattu, playing in his 10th T20 World Cup, exploded with a 16-ball 33, but his dismissal at 57 for 2 in the sixth over slowed his teammates and they crawled across the goal line at 154 for 7.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday will also see games between Netherlands and Pakistan, and semi-finalists England and defending champions New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP Cricket: <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/cricket<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/women-t20-world-cup-srilanka-scotland-f05684e03c491b8bff8f665005898c0d\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANCHESTER, England (AP) &#8211; Sri Lanka kept their slim hopes of reaching the semi-finals of the Women&#8217;s Twenty20 World Cup alive for the first time after a dramatic final-over victory over Scotland at Old Trafford on Friday.
