Kenya Women lock horns with Scotland Women in the sixth match of the Commonwealth Games (CWG) Women's Cricket Qualifiers 2022. Kinrara Academy Oval in Kuala Lumpur will host this fixture.

Kenya, led by Margaret Ngoche, haven't had a great time in the tournament thus far. Having lost both their matches, they are placed at the bottom of the points table. Their net run rate of -3.594 is also the worst among the five teams taking part in the championship.

They come into this game on the back of a 80-run loss at the hands of Bangladesh. After electing to field first, their bowlers restricted the Tigresses to 125. Thereafter, Nahida Akter's five-wicket haul shot Kenya out for 45 in 12.4 overs.

Scotland, led by Kathryn Bryce, on the other hand, are placed third in the points table with a win and a loss apiece. They started their campaign on a resounding note, defeating Malaysia by 31 runs. But on Tuesday, Sri Lanka slapped them with a heavy 109-run loss.

Batting first, the Lankans scored 182/4 on the back of Chamari Athapaththu's 45-ball 86, laced with 13 fours and two sixes. Thereafter, Scotland were bowled out for 73 in 12.1 overs. Barring Ellen Watson, who made 30, none of their batters got into double digits.
