ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: South Africa and Scotland are set to clash today at Dubai in their first international match, each team seeking a foothold to amass valuable points.
South Africa have won the toss and will bat first. Their campaign has had its ups and downs; after a dominating victory over the West Indies, they were handed a setback by a strong-looking England side by an old-fashioned thumping defeat. Contrast that with Scotland’s Kathryn Bryce, who remains without a win after losing her two games so far as she aims to make history by getting Scotland’s first tournament triumph on the board.

In the game, South Africa would look to score as many runs as possible, build a good run rate, and then hope that England, who have been bowled out twice, do not do enough on this St. Albans surface to overtake them at the top of the table. Teams batting second have been quite successful in comfortable chases here, which makes the match rather interesting now.
