Scotland have announced themselves in style at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026, sealing a convincing 40-run victory to open their campaign on a high.

In the end, it was a complete team performance from Scotland, whose outstanding bowling display dismantled Ireland's chase and secured a memorable win on the grand stage.
