A couple of no results and one big upset had changed the dynamics, and just one Super Six spot was available from the group. And this match was a virtual knock-out. Scotland will now join last edition's losing finalists England and the surprise package, the United States of America, in the next stage.
In the rain-affected match, Alice Walsh hit 31 off 19 to help Ireland score a healthy rate of more than seven runs in an over, 69/5 (9). And her knock proved the difference as Pakistan (59/7) fell short by 13 runs in the 9-over match. For Pakistan, skipper Komal Khan hit run-a-ball 12.
Pakistan had shared the spoils from their USA tie -- abandoned, then suffered a six-wicket defeat against England. Ireland's opener against England was a no result, and it was followed by a shock defeat by the USA.
Earlier in the day, England defeated the high-flying USA by eight wickets to take the group honours.
