Women’s T20 World Cup would have Scotland ‘buzzing’ – Lorna Jack

Scotland’s women are two wins from qualifying for the T20 World Cup – an achievement batter Lorna Jack says would have them ‘’buzzing through life.’’

Reaching the final guarantees qualification for the World Cup in Bangladesh this autumn.

“If we play to our strengths, we should have the Thailand game in the bag,” said Jack.

“Batting-wise we have quite an aggressive line-up. Bowling-wise our attack has been quite on point this whole campaign. This tournament we’ve been a lot more slick, sometimes in the past we’ve either been really high or really low, this time we’ve been riding the wave.
