Scotland Women and Netherlands Women begin their ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 preparations with a warm-up fixture at County Ground, Derby. Although this match carries no tournament points, both teams will be eager to build momentum and finalize combinations ahead of the main event.
Scotland Women enter the contest in excellent form after defeating the Netherlands Women by 24 runs (DLS method) just three days ago in the Scotland Women's T20I Tri-Series. Led by captain Kathryn Bryce, Scotland have looked more settled with both bat and ball and will be confident of extending their recent dominance.
Netherlands Women, meanwhile, will view this game as an opportunity to respond strongly. Their batting unit showed glimpses of promise in the previous encounter, but they struggled to maintain partnerships and failed to keep up with the required scoring rate.
With both teams familiar with each other's strengths and weaknesses, another competitive contest is expected in Derby.

Netherlands Women will be looking to bounce back after their recent loss to Scotland. The batting unit showed some promise through Sterre Kalis and Babette de Leede, but the middle order failed to capitalize on the start.
Their bowlers managed to pick up wickets, with Iris Zwilling, Heather Siegers and Caroline de Lange making useful contributions. The Dutch side will be aiming for a more balanced performance as they prepare for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
Captain Babette de Leede remains the key player in the Dutch lineup. She scored a quick 14 from 7 deliveries in the previous match, while Sterre Kalis top-scored with 28 runs and looked the most comfortable batter. Heather Siegers also provided a brisk start with 15 off just 7 balls. The challenge for the Netherlands will be converting starts into substantial contributions.
The Dutch bowling attack struggled to contain Scotland's aggressive batting lineup. Iris Zwilling, Heather Siegers and Caroline de Lange were among the wicket-takers, but they conceded runs at crucial stages. The bowling unit will need a much more disciplined performance if they are to contain Scotland's powerful batting order.
Key Stats
1. Heather Siegers scored 99 runs and picked up 4 in the last three matches for Netherlands Women.
2. Stere Kalis has scored 210 runs in 9 WT20I matches played in 2026.
3. Iris Zwilling has picked up 9 wickets in the last 10 matches.

Captain Kathryn Bryce starred with an outstanding all-round performance, scoring 63 runs and picking up a wicket, while Katherine Fraser and Sarah Bryce also made valuable contributions.
Their batting unit looks settled, and the bowling attack did an excellent job of restricting Netherlands to 80/6 in a rain-shortened chase. Scotland will look to carry that momentum into this World Cup warm-up fixture.

The weather in Derby is expected to remain pleasant throughout the match. Temperatures should hover around 18-21°C with minimal chances of rain, creating favorable conditions for cricket.
County Ground, Derby generally offers a balanced T20 surface. Fast bowlers can find movement early with the new ball, while batters enjoy better scoring conditions once they settle at the crease. Women's T20I matches at the venue have produced average first-innings scores of around 135-140 runs, suggesting a competitive surface where both batters and bowlers can have an impact.
Predicted Score:
If Netherlands Women bat first: 125-140
If Scotland Women bat first: 140-155
Teams batting first have generally enjoyed more success at Derby. Captains may prefer setting a target and allowing their bowlers to apply scoreboard pressure later in the game.
Toss Prediction: Netherlands Women to win the coin toss
Scotland Women enter the match with superior recent form, a stronger batting lineup and greater confidence following their victory over the Netherlands earlier this week. Netherlands Women certainly possess enough talent to challenge, but Scotland's all-round balance and the outstanding form of Kathryn Bryce make them favorites heading into this warm-up fixture.
