Scotland overcame the determined struggle from Hayley Matthews to open a qualifying campaign at the World Cricket Championship with a 11-run victory over Western India in Lahore.
Captain West Indies Matthews claimed that 4-56, because Scotland was reported to 244 because it was asked to make a bat in Pakistan first.
The 27-year-old woman was then forced to retire during her own shifts, but returned to reach 114, giving it a touch distance from the victory before the partners ran out when the Scottish Honor-Spinner Abah Maqsood (2-60) caught Aaliyah Alleyne.
Scotland slowly began, only 23 of the opening seven breaks scored and then dropped to 62-2 after Captain Kathryn Bryce (6) was caught for Matthews.
Sarah Bryce (55) and Megan McColl (45), however, at 82 for the fifth goal when Scotland gathered a total defense with a former scoring of half a century.
West Indies was aggressive in its approach to the persecution of that on the power of Matthews, which ended up with 14 borders, but would be returned by the impressive game Sarah Bryce behind the goal.
Bryce represented four goals, three of them catches, as well as the donation of Stafania Taylor (8) when Western India collapsed between 192-5 and 203-9 in the three overs.
When Karishma Ramharack went to the duck, he caught and bowed to Katherine Fraser, Matthews limp for the second time, and together with Alleyne built a 30 partnership and offered hope for an unlikely victory before Maqsood had the last word.
Scotland will return in action against Pakistan on Friday.
