It is a shame Scotland haven't been able to get over that 100-mark, but I guess it leaves it pretty plain and simple. They are going to have to bowl the West Indies out.
I feel like that run total is well under par. We think that 120 is probably par on this pitch, but we have been seeing a lot of low-scoring games so far in this tournament so who knows what could happen?
Scotland will have to take early wickets and get Hayley Matthews – she holds the key to this run chase.
Slater b Ramharack 0 (Sco 99-8)
Rachel Slater heaves and misses the last ball of the innings, summing up a poor Scotland effort.
West Indies will need exactly 100 to win.

Oh, Darcey Carter! She was just ball watching. It wasn't really a run, was it?
There just needs to be a little bit better communication between the wickets.
Fraser run out 6 (Sco 98-7)
Carter swings and misses, but Fraser still runs halfway down the track. The keeper's throw back to the bowler is not great, but good enough to see Fraser run out as she fails to ground her bat in time.

That is a brilliant shot from Carter – this time she does find the gap.
It races away and really flies off Darcey Carter's bat – we haven't said that much today!
She has got one more over to go, if she can find the boundary a couple more times that would help.
Darcey Carter finally reaches the boundary, driving Alleyne stylishly over the off side. Aside from that, Scotland can only squeeze out a few singles as we enter the last over.

Deandra Dottin just saunters up to the ball, luring you into a false sense of security, and then when you go for the second run, she puts the burners on. She has one of the quickest arms in the game and she can easily run you out.
The West Indies are good athletes but they don't show that prowess all the time.
Seamer Aaliyah Alleyne joins the attack and she keeps it tight, conceding just four. Getting to 100 feels like a big ask.

That wasn't a run there but there was just wasn't any communication between the two batters.
They probably haven't batted too much together these two, probably in the qualifiers they did. Lorna Jack looked pretty decent and you can just tell Darcey Carter feels gutted to run her team-mate out.
I don't actually think it was her fault – it was the lack of communication between the two of them.
Afy Fletcher finished with 3-22 including these two in her final over.

Jack run out 11 (Sco 76-6)
It's all going horribly wrong for Scotland, Lorna Jack taps into the off side and sets off. She is sent back from halfway down the pitch and keeper Shemaine Campbelle demolishes the stumps.

K Bryce c Ramharack b Fletcher 25 (Sco 76-5)
Just as Scotland look to be having a good over, Kathryn Bryce spoils it by lifting Fletcher's last ball to mid off, Ramharack moving to her right to take an easy catch.

Lorna Jack is comfortably home for a quick single, then she steps down the track to drill Fletcher to the cover point boundary.

Kathryn Bryce gets a much-needed boundary, lifting Karishma Ramharack back over the umpire for four.
Scotland are going to need a lot more of that to post a testing target.
Lydia Greenway
Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

Scotland have just got to do a bit of rebuilding here. They have still got time, with seven overs left, so they need to just try to re-establish a partnership in these next few overs.
That will give them a platform going into maybe the 16th over, so then they can go and have a real go.
Karishma Ramharack tosses one up and somehow it slips through Lorna Jack's defences, but it goes over the stumps. How did that one miss?
West Indies are really turning the screw here.
The hat-trick is avoided as Lorna Jack dabs the ball to leg for two.
