SA-W vs SCO-W Preview
South Africa trounced West Indies by 10 wickets to kick-off their T20 World Cup campaign on an emphatic note. However, they crashed to a seven-wicket defeat against England next up in Sharjah. With an NRR of 0.245 and a win and a defeat from two matches, South Africa is placed just outside the semifinal’s contention on the Group B points table. In a bid to climb up the ladder, the Proteas will be relying on their blistering openers Laura Wolvaardt and Tanzim Brits once again to rise to the occasion.
Scotland, on the other hand, incurred demoralizing defeats to Bangladesh and West Indies in successive games and is currently placed at the bottom of the Group B points table. At the brink of an early exit from the tournament, Kathryn Bryce and co. will be hoping to spring a surprise as they bid to keep their outside qualification chances alive. Captain Bryce herself has emerged as Scotland’s standout performer with the bat off late alongside Ailsa Lister. Fast bowler Rachel Slater has taken 12 wickets in her past eight innings to headline Scotland’s bowling.
