TEAMS PREVIEW

Scotland Women Preview

Gaby Lewis will be happy with her team's performance in the last game. They restricted Namibia Women to a small total and chased the target easily, winning by 8 wickets. As the tournament enters the most crucial phase, Lewis would like her team to build on this form. They are up against a strong team and need to play well. 

Gaby Lewis is the leading scorer in the tournament and will look to deliver a strong start with Rebecca Stokell. The middle order is strong, and the team needs runs from Orla Prendergast, Leah Paul, and Louise Little. Arlene Kelly is a good finisher, and the team expects quick runs from her and Christina Coulter Reilly. 

Orla Prendergast and Alana Dalzell have bowled well with the new ball, and the team expects early wickets from the pair. Jane Maguire and Lara McBride shared six wickets between them in the last game, and the team expects a strong show from them. Louise Little and Arlene Kelly will look to do well in the supporting roles.

Scotland Women Predicted Playing XI:

Gaby Lewis (c), Rebecca Stokell, Orla Prendergast, Leah Paul, Louise Little, Arlene Kelly, Christina Coulter Reilly (wk), Alana Dalzell, Sarah Forbes, Lara McBride, Jane Maguire

Scotland Women Actual Playing XI:

Abtaha Maqsood, Ailsa Lister, Chloe Abel, Darcey Carter, Katherine Fraser, Sarah Bryce, Megan McColl, Olivia Bell, Priyanaz Chatterji, Rachel Slater, Kathryn Bryce

Ireland Women Preview

Kathryn Bryce's team will be confident after winning three games in a row. It was a dominant team performance against hosts Nepal, which they won by 72 runs. However, the Irish women will pose a tougher challenge for the team. Bryce would like to see a strong show from her players in this game. 

Darcey Carter and Katherine Fraser missed out in the last game, and the team expects the pair to deliver a good start in this contest. Kathryn Bryce must lead from the front in the middle order and add runs with Sarah Bryce and Priyanaz Chatterji. The team expects a strong performance from Megan McColl and Ailsa Lister in the lower middle order. 

The bowling attack did a fantastic job in the last game. Kathryn Bryce and Rachel Slater must make early inroads into Ireland's batting for the team to have a chance in this contest. In the middle overs, the team expects tight spells from Olivia Bell and Priyanaz Chatterji. Abtaha Maqsood and Katherine Fraser must do well in the supporting roles.

Ireland Women Predicted Playing XI:

Kathryn Bryce (c), Darcey Carter, Katherine Fraser, Sarah Bryce (wk), Ailsa Lister, Megan McColl, Priyanaz Chatterji, Olivia Bell, Chloe Abel, Rachel Slater, Abtaha Maqsood

Ireland Women Actual Playing XI:

Aimee Maguire, Alana Dalzell, Arlene Kelly, Christina Coulter Reilly, Gaby Lewis, Lara McBride, Leah Paul, Orla Prendergast, Rebecca Stokell, Jane Maguire, Louise Little

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We will have clear skies over Kirtipur. Batters do well on this wicket as the ball comes to the bat nicely. There is no room for the bowlers on this surface, and they must use their variations to do well. The average first-innings score at the venue is 139 runs, and the team batting first will expect 160 runs.

SCT-W vs IREW Pitch Report

Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur is a large ground. The wicket is good for batting as the ball comes to the bat nicely. Fast bowlers must bend their backs on this surface, but the spinners have earned rewards from the track.

Toss: To Bat

We have had average-scoring games at this venue in recent months. The wicket will be great to bat on at the start, but it slows down in the second half, making run chases difficult. The side that wins the toss would like to bat first.
