- The hosts posted 200 for 5 thanks to middle-order contributions and late hitting, while Scotland finished on 162 for 7 for a match aggregate of 362 runs.
- Sophia Dunkley scored 57 off 37 and was named Player of the Match after a partnership with Alice Capsey set up England’s big total.
- Sophie Ecclestone produced key breakthroughs, dismissing Scotland captain Kathryn Bryce and Darcey Carter, and helped stem a promising Scottish chase.
