PRE-MATCH ANALYSIS: WOMEN’S T20 WORLD CUP 2024: PAST CHAMPIONS TAKE ON YOUNG SCOTTISH GIRLS

Introduction

ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is going to be a new opportunity for new teams from around the world to battle with their role models who they have only seen on Television before. Girls from Scotland will get such an opportunity on 6th October 2024 as they will take on past World Champions Windies in Dubai International Cricket Stadium as the eighth match of the tournament.

This game will be played as a night game and we will be able to see completely new action when these two teams take on each other as these two teams will rarely get a chance to play with each other.

Key Players

Discussing the Key Players from the West Indies Side, their captain Hayley Matthews is someone who you can really bet on to perform well. Star All-rounder Hayley will open for the Windies and is expected to score above 30 if they bat well or if they have enough score to chase down. On the other hand, she will also bowl her full quota of 4 overs and is expected to get more than 2 or more wickets by not giving more than 25 runs. Talking about the Batters, Shemaine Campbelle will score well if they are going to bat first, and definitely you should pick her for the fantasy team. Considering who can take the most wickets for the Windies, we can highlight Afy Fletcher to be the highest wicket-taker and expected to take more than 2 wickets for the team.

On the other hand, talking about the Scotland team, we can consider Captain Kathryn Bryce to be the star performer with her exceptional batting average and her all-round capacity to bowl nicely as well. Considering the batters, Darcey Carter will have to do the bulk of the run-scoring if Scotland needs to win the match as she is their star batter after their Captain. Moving on to the bowlers Rachel Slater will have to raise her hand up and do her best as she is expected to be the leading bowler for them.

Prediction

Overall, considering the lineups and match conditions, we do expect West Indies to win this match comfortably if not for a rare upset. We do expect West Indies bowlers to bundle out the Scotland batting lineup for less than 100 runs with their experienced bowling attack.
