Scotland topped the Women's T20 World Cup European Qualifier after a thumping seven-wicket victory over France with 106 balls to spare.
The Scots made it four wins from four in Spain, bowling France out for just 24 and reaching 25-3 in the third over.
Scotland progress to the global Qualifier next year, with both finalists in that tournament going through to the main event.
South Africa will stage the 10-team T20 World Cup in February 2023.
The hosts will be joined by the seven highest ranked sides as of November.
Scotland will be up against the winners from yet-to-be-played regional qualifiers in Africa, the Americas, Asia and East-Asia-Pacific for one of the two remaining spots.
They could yet be joined by European runners-up Ireland in that global Qualifier, as there is a place reserved for the highest-ranked non-qualified team, which will be Ireland as things stand.
Megan McColl was Scotland's standout bowler against France, who lost all of their matches, taking five wickets and conceding a mere three runs from her four overs.
McColl also hit a four with her only shot to level the scores before a wide settled a one-sided contest.
