Today Scotland beat Thailand's world-record breaking run of wins at 17 after handing them a defeat in the Netherlands.
After having defeated the home country to surpass Australia's record of 16 wins on the trot, Thailand fell at the very next hurdle in their Quadrangular series.
Sarah Bryce's uneaten 63* proved the spine for Scotland's successful chase of 124.
Thailand and Scotland are now the top two of the competition, completed by Ireland in third with one win and two losses and Netherlands who have lost three of three.
In the other game Ireland put on a record of their own of 213/4 - the highest total for an Irish women side and the second highest score for any Irish representative side of any gender - however rain stopped play and the game was abandoned
