Match Preview: BD-W vs SCO-W Dream11 Prediction ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024

The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will start on the 3rd October 2024. Bangladesh Women will be up against Scotland Women in the first game of the tournament. The tournament will be played in the UAE and the venue for this game will be the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah. The match will start at 3:30 PM IST.

Bangladesh women lost one and won one game in the warm-up matches ahead of the tournament. The likes of skipper Nigar Sultana, Shorna Akter and their spin attack is Bangladesh’s strength. Their batters are generally quite slow with their strike rates and it can be a big problem for them.

Scotland women, meanwhile, have a strong bowling attack and the likes of Saskia Horely, Sarah Bryce and Kathryn Bryce at the top of the order are their key players with the bat. They defeated Pakistan women and lost to Sri Lanka women in the warm-up games.
