TEAMS PREVIEW
Scotland Women Preview
Scotland Women will be disappointed with the result of their first match, as they lost by just seven runs to Netherlands Women in a chase of 158. Captain Kathryn Bryce was the top-scorer with a well-compiled knock of 42 off 40. She got support from opener Katherine Fraser (41 off 29) and Sarah Bryce (30 off 25), but the lower order failed to finish the job, something which the team will look to correct going forward.
Kathryn will have to lead the batting unit again in this match if Scotland hopes to challenge Zimbabwe. Darcey Carter, who was the top scorer in the ICC Women's Emerging Nations Trophy recently with 248 runs in seven matches, is another batter to watch out for.
Apart from these names, however, the batting unit will also look for some contributions from Ailsa Lister and Priyanaz Chatterji, who are solid batters.
The bowling was impressive in the first game. Rachel Slater was the main star, picking up 3-24 in four overs. Chloe Abel and Abtaha Maqsood also made a mark, with one wicket apiece. Olivia Bell was their leading wicket-taker in the Emerging Nations Trophy with eight scalps at 4.50, and will be relied upon to deliver useful spells in this match.
Scotland Women Predicted Playing XI:
Darcey Carter, Katherine Fraser, Priyanaz Chatterji, Sarah Bryce(w), Ailsa Lister, Kathryn Bryce(c), Megan McColl, Rachel Slater, Chloe Abel, Abtaha Maqsood, Olivia Bell

Zimbabwe Women Preview
Zimbabwe Women would be frustrated with their performance in the World Cup Qualifier so far. They have lost two in a row, the last of which was a heartbreaking loss by one run to Thailand Women. They will need to address the flaws in their batting unit if they hope to qualify for the Super Six from here.
Modester Mupachikwa has been their standout performer with the bat, scoring 48 runs across two innings at a strike rate of 80. Chiedza Dhururu has been just as dependable, with 43 runs in two innings at a strike rate of 127. Their contributions will be important in this game.
Beyond them, the others haven’t been able to make an impression, which is something that might bite the visitors if these two in-form batters don’t fire.
The likes of Beloved Biza, Kelis Ndhlovu, and Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano are all quality players and need to step up if the home side hopes to keep their tournament alive.
Christabel Chatonzwa has led the bowling attack, taking five wickets at an economy of just 5.57. Adel Zimunu and Audrey Mazvishaya have picked up five wickets between them and can chip in with crucial wickets in this match. Another decent option is Josephine Nkomo, who has two wickets in this series at 5.16.
Zimbabwe Women Predicted Playing XI:
Kelis Ndhlovu, Beloved Biza, Modester Mupachikwa, Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano(c), Josephine Nkomo, Chiedza Dhururu(w), Christabel Chatonzwa, Audrey Mazvishaya, Lindokuhle Mabhero, Nyasha Gwanzura, Adel Zimunu

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
At Mulpani Cricket Ground, the pitch offers a mix of support for batters and bowlers, though batters usually come out ahead. Spin bowlers find the surface helpful, but pacers also break through regularly during the match. First-innings totals are often impressive, but sides batting second have faced challenges in successful run chases.
Kathmandu will experience clear, sunny, and pleasant weather throughout.
SCT-W vs ZIM-W Pitch Report
First-innings totals at Mulpani Cricket Ground generally sit around 160. If a team can set a target of 155 to 160 in this match, it could put the opposition in a tricky position during their chase.
Toss: To Bowl
The trend at Mulpani Cricket Ground in this World Cup Qualifier shows a clear preference for bowling first after winning the toss—this has happened in three of the four matches so far. It’s reasonable to assume the same decision will be made here.
SCT-W vs ZIM-W
Winning Prediction
Scotland Women and Zimbabwe Women are both coming off defeats in their previous games and will be desperate to get a win here. Zimbabwe need that win even more as they have lost two in a row, and a loss here will mean elimination from the World Cup Qualifier. Looking at the performances of both teams in the tournament so far, we give Scotland a 51-49 edge in this contest.
Back Scotland Women as the winners of this match.
