Despite the odds, New Zealand player Amelia Kerr believes qualification is possible.
“Yes, there is a mathematical advantage. We win three cricket matches and obviously we will need other results to go. But as we have seen in this tournament, any team can beat anyone. And I think that the standard of this pool, especially the way Ireland and Scotland played, before playing as many World Cups as other teams, will be very smart after this game.
This statement underlines the unpredictability of Group B and explains why Scotland, despite being bottom on paper, cannot be taken lightly by the defenders.
