Scheduled to take place on October 3, 2024, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, both teams are eager to commence their campaign with a triumphant start, promising an enthralling showdown.

The inaugural T20 of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 holds significant importance for both Bangladesh and Scotland as they strive to gain early momentum in the tournament. With a formidable squad and impressive recent performances, Bangladesh is poised as the favorite going into the match. On the other hand, Scotland Women are determined to showcase a competitive spirit against their more seasoned adversaries.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is renowned for its slow and sluggish nature, making it challenging for batters to score runs freely. The ball tends to stop after hitting the surface, further complicating the task for the batsmen. As this is a day game, it is anticipated that the wicket will slow down even more as the match progresses.

Weather Report

The weather forecast for Sharjah predicts a warm afternoon with abundant sunshine during the match, and minimal chances of rain.
