Despite her difficult circumstances, New Zealand all-rounder Amelia Kerr believes promotion is still possible.
“Yeah, mathematically there’s still a chance. We’ve won three cricket games and obviously we need other results to get on track. But as we’ve seen in this tournament, any team can beat any team. I think the standard of this group, especially the way Ireland and Scotland have played, haven’t been to as many World Cups as other teams, they’re very good. And there’s no reason any team can’t beat anyone,” Cole said after the Ireland game.
These words underline the unpredictability of Group B and explain why Scotland, despite being disadvantaged on paper, are unlikely to be underestimated by the defending champions.
