Pakistan and hosts Sri Lanka confirmed their places in the super six stage of the qualifying event for the International Cricket Council (ICC) Women's Cricket World Cup as both nations recorded comfortable wins in Colombo today.

The two sides were virtually assured of securing a super six berth and they will be joined by Ireland and Bangladesh, who were both not in action during the final round of group games.

India and South Africa had already qualified.

Pakistan captain Sana Mir led from the front as she claimed a five-wicket haul to help skittle Scotland for 91 in their Group B clash at the Colombo Cricket Club.

Scotland threatened to stage an unlikely comeback during Pakistan's innings but the Asian side comfortably got over the line, with Javeria Khan's 35 guiding them to a six-wicket win.

In Group A, Sri Lanka were asked to bowl first on a greenish pitch at the Mercantile Cricket Association Ground in Colombo and restricted opponents Thailand to 122-8 from their 50 overs.

Sripali Weerakkody, Inoka Ranaweera and Eshani Lokusuriyage all picked up two wickets but Nattaya Boochatham was the star of the show as she struck a 50-ball 97 to guide Sri Lanka to a seven-wicket victory.

South Africa completed the group phase with a 100 per cent record as they claimed their fourth consecutive victory, thrashing minnows Papua New Guinea by 10 wickets.

The Pacific nation were no match for their African counterparts and were bowled out for just 76.

South Africa knocked off the required runs inside 14 overs to end the group stage unbeaten.

In the other match to take place today, Pakistan beat Scotland by six wickets in a dead-rubber contest.

The super six phase of the tournament begins on Wednesday (February 15).
