ICC Women's Emerging Nations Trophy Points Table

Uganda v Papua New Guinea

The cool of Janet Mbabazi and Uganda prevailed at the Terdthai Cricket Ground, closing out with a final-over victory against Papua New Guinea, and their first win at the tournament.

Crafty with her medium pace to ensure her side defended 117, Mbabazi was also the rock of her side's batting effort, making an unbeaten 60 not out from 58 balls in tricky conditions.

The skipper hit five fours and a six in the knock, over half the boundaries in her side's effort. Immaculate Nakisuuyi (20) supported Mbabazi in a partnership of 49, as four of PNG's six bowlers finished with an economy of under a run a ball.

In reply, PNG found scoring difficult with the pace taken off, with only Pauke Siaka (39 off 23 balls) able to up the ante.

It looked as if the Lewas all-rounder had done enough for PNG, though the return of Kevin Amuge (2/11 off four) and the consistency of Malisa Ariokot (1/21 off four) tied things up at the other end.

Captain Mbabazi opted to bowl herself for the final over, claiming the wicket of Siaka and holding Erani Pokana and Hane Tau at bay.

Tanzania v Netherlands

The Dutch flexed their muscles on day three of the tournament, bowling Tanzania out for just 62 and powering past the target in quick time for a second consecutive victory and a net run rate boost.

Quick Iris Zwilling tormented the Tanzanian top order with early wickets of Saum Mtae and the dangerous Katuma Kibasu, before returning to remove Perice Kamunya in the 17th over to deny any death-over exploits.

It was Silver Siegers to keep the Dutch in control in the middle overs, claiming 2/13 from her four overs, before the likes of Hannah Landheer and Frederique Overdijk cleaned up the tail with two wickets apiece.

The Dutch did not stumble in their response, with Sterre Kalis' 24 taking the sting out of Tanzania's bowling effort. Robine Rijke (13 not out) and Frederique Overdijk (16 not out) closed out the chase inside 13 overs.

Scotland v United Arab Emirates

Scotland continued their stunning run at the Women's Emerging Nations Trophy with a victory over UAE by 10 wickets.

Katherine Fraser was the pick of the bowlers for Scotland with figures of 2/12 off her four overs as UAE finished their innings at 93/8 off their 20 overs.

Scotland's batters were in fine form as Darcey Carter (56) and Ailsa Lister (37) chased down the target in 14.5 overs, extending their winning run to three wins in a row.

Thailand v Namibia

Thailand got back to winning ways in their fixture against Namibia, winning by 27 runs at the Asian Institute of Technology Ground, Bangkok.

After Thailand were asked to bat first, a stunning performance from Natthakan Chantham (58) guided them to 115/6 at the end of 20 overs.

In the second innings, Thailand off-spinner Sunida Chaturongrattana took the initiative as she picked the wickets of Kayleen Green (22) and Wilka Mwatile (0) in consecutive deliveries.

Yasmeen Khan (27) tried to stabilise Namibia's innings but fell in the 13th over, leaving her side at 61/5.

Chaturongrattana's fantastic showing put Thailand on top, restricting Namibia to 88/8 at the end of their 20 overs as the hosts climbed to second in the standings.
