Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Match 1, Bangladesh-W vs Scotland-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between BAN-W vs SCO-W?

Bangladesh Women (BAN-W) will take on Scotland Women (SCO-W) in Match 1 of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium, on Thursday, October 3, in Sharjah. The event was scheduled to be held in Bangladesh but the political unrest in the country meant it was shifted to United Arab Emirates. Nevertheless, the country still plays as the host though not geographically. 

Bangladesh were impressive in the warm-up games. They played two games against Pakistan and Sri Lanka and were victorious on both occasions. They would like to continue their momentum, playing their opening game of the tournament. Scotland are jostled up against the giants like England and West Indies along with Bangladesh in Group B. A win here will just add laurels to an already underdog tag.

Pitch Report

The Sharjah pitch favours the spinners and the slow turners have had an upper hand while bowling here. But the batters can take heart from the shorter boundaries the ground possesses and can leverage strength if the shot-making gets tougher. The weather will be sunny with temperatures hovering around 36 degrees Celsius.
