WI W vs SCO W Match Preview

West Indies suffered a humiliating 10-wicket defeat against South Africa in their opening game of the campaign. Captain Hayley Matthews is one of their consistent performers but she flopped in the game and others too failed to deliver. Stafanie Taylor tried her best to give the team some momentum but it was not enough. The bowling unit was disappointed as well.

Matthews flopped in the opening game but it’s difficult to keep her quiet in the long run. She was in terrific form in the warm-up games and it’s only a matter of time that the 26-year-old finds her rhythm in the shortest format. She has represented West Indies in 97 T20Is and scored 2349 runs at a strike rate of 112.77.

Next up, they will challenge Scotland on October 6 in Dubai. It is a do-or-die game for the team as another defeat can rule out their chances of qualifying for the semi-final. Meanwhile, the Kathryn Bryce-led side did suffer a loss in their opening game against Bangladesh but it was an impressive effort nonetheless. Sarah Bryce notably made 49* runs while Saskia Harley picked up three wickets in the last game against Bangladesh. Her form will be crucial for the team as they would look forward to causing an upset in the tournament.
