New Zealand eliminate Scotland with six-wicket victory

Scotland have been knocked out of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup after New Zealand secured a six-wicket win in Bristol to keep alive their own faint hopes of defending the title.

The impressive Darcey Carter (72no) led an otherwise slow-scoring Scotland top order with her second half-century of the World Cup - helped by a sizeable contribution from Sarah Bryce (25 off 22), but the excellent bowling of Melie Kerr (3-17) and Sophie Devine (2-19) limited the Scots to a below-par total of 131-7 after their 20 overs.
