The ninth ICC Women’s T20 World Cup will start in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, on October 3. Some unforeseen circumstances made the ICC move the tournament from its original host nation of Bangladesh. The third time defending champions Australia holds the hope of stretching their dominance to a fourth tournament in a row.
The first game of the tournament will be played on October 3 in Sharjah Cricket Stadium between Bangladesh Women and Scotland Women. This is Bangladesh’s sixth World Twenty Twenty Cup and the team looks to do better than in 2023 where they failed to progress beyond the group stage. On the other hand, Scotland aims to make its mark in the global stage of cricket as a full member who is playing in this WT20 World Cup.
The stage is set for exciting matches displaying the abilities of the best female cricket players in the globe. New teams will pose a threat to Australia’s title as champions. Bangladesh is looking to make amends, and Scotland’s debut brings something new and interesting to the competition.
Cricket fans should anticipate thrilling action starting on October 3 as the top women’s teams in the world will be assembling in the United Arab Emirates.
BAN-W vs SC0-W head-to-head record:
Bangladesh and Scotland will play for the sixth time in women’s T20Is. Bangladesh has a 5-0 head-to-head record against Scotland.
This strong record puts Bangladesh as clear favorites for their October 3 meeting. Scotland want to end their winning streak and win their first T20I against Bangladesh, looking to make a statement in their WT20 World Cup debut.
Who will win the match?
Bangladesh is probably going to win their next game against Scotland. They have a mental advantage because of their stellar head-to-head record, which includes five straight victories. Bangladesh’s performance will also benefit from their five prior seasons of WT20 World Cup participation.
Scotland, who are playing in their first T20 World Cup, might find it difficult to adjust to the intense strain. While they’ll certainly put up a strong battle, Bangladesh’s momentum and experience are expected to give them the upper hand.
