The first match of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be played on Thursday, October 3, in Sharjah at the renowned Sharjah Cricket Stadium between Bangladesh Women and Scotland Women.
The event was intended to be hosted in Bangladesh, but the political upheaval in the nation meant it was transferred to the United Arab Emirates. Even so, the nation continues to serve as the host, although virtually.
In the warm-up matches, Bangladesh showed great performance. They encountered Pakistan and Sri Lanka in two games, winning both times. They want to play their initial match of the tournament in order to maintain their momentum. In Group B, Bangladesh and England are pitted against Scotland’s formidable opponents. A victory here would just give an already marginalized tag more honors.

Bangladesh-W vs. Scotland-W Pitch Report:
The slow turners have the upper hand when bowling here because of the Sharjah pitch’s preference for spinners. However, if the batters find it more difficult to make shots, they can use their muscle and the ground’s shorter limits to their advantage. There will be plenty of sunshine and a temperature of about 36 degrees Celsius.
