Scotland took a significant stride towards the next stage of the Netball World Cup by beating Barbados 53-44.
Tamsin Greenway's side, who had suffered an agonising defeat against Malawi in Friday's Pool B opener, edged the opening quarter, but the sides were level at 23-23 at the halfway stage.
The Scots took command in the final two quarters - with Claire Maxwell becoming the country's most capped player - to register a crucial win in Cape Town.
Scotland face England on Sunday and will advance to the second pool stage even with defeat should Barbados fail to beat Malawi.
