WI-W vs SCO-W - SportsIstan

On October 6, West Indies women and Scotland women will collide in the 8th match of the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. The game will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the second half of a doubleheader. Match Preview On October 4, West Indies, led by Hayley Matthews, fell to South Africa by a margin of 10 wickets in their T20 World Cup opener. With more than two overs remaining, South African openers Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits sealed the chase after Stafanie Taylor's 44* helped the West Indies reach 118-6 on a sluggish Dubai pitch. West Indies must win each of their final three Group B matches by wide margins if they hope to get to the semifinals. On October 3 in Sharjah, Scotland also lost their tournament opener, against Bangladesh Women. The Scotland batsmen were supposed to chase a modest total of 120 runs, but they only scored 103 runs, falling 16 runs short of their goal. Sarah Bryce, the opening batswoman, scored 49* of those runs while staying undefeated at the wicket. Scotland, like West Indies, is in serious need of a victory to maintain their hopes of finishing in the top four.
