Scotland's unblemished record helps them seal top spot in Europe Qualifier
Batting first, the French were bowled out for 24 as the Scottish bowlers wreaked havoc. The French batters couldn't register a double-figure score, as Scotland gained control of the contest early on.
For the Scots, Megan McColl was the pick of the bowlers with astounding match-figures of 5/3 in her spell of four overs. Abbi Aitken-Drummond also picked up two wickets.
With a small total to chase, the Scottish women went hell for leather, which led to them losing three wickets. But the target was accomplished after only 2.2 overs, continuing their dominant run in the tournament, winning four matches out of four to top the Europe Qualifier.

In the chase, a lack of contribution from the batters, apart from Robine Rijke (32), proved costly as the Netherlands fell short of the total by 24 runs.
