West Indies kicked off their global campaign in incredible fashion, tracking down a highly competitive target of 163 against reigning champions New Zealand with just one ball to spare.
Wicketkeeper-batter Shemaine Campbelle played the ultimate innings of her career, anchoring the chase with a sensational, unbeaten 90* off 62 balls, containing seven boundaries and three sixes. Skipper Hayley Matthews lent stable support with a crucial 37-ball 48 at the top, increasing her recent aggregate to 304 runs at an average of 43.43. While the team missed power-hitters Stafanie Taylor and Chinelle Henry due to minor injuries in the opener, the middle order still looks very dangerous with Deandra Dottin around.
On the bowling front, medium-pacer Aaliyah Alleyne holds the key after running through the White Ferns' top order to register a brilliant career-best 4/27. Left-arm spinner Qiana Joseph remains an exceptional asset to plug the runs in the middle overs, keeping things tight with a stellar recent economy rate of 5.70. The West Indies will look to maximize their boundary-hitting power on a very true Headingley deck to keep Scotland's bowling unit under constant pressure.
Key Players: Hayley Matthews, Shemaine Campbelle, Aaliyah Alleyne
Shemaine Campbell Total Runs Over 17.5 @ 1.85
Campbell played one of the most prolific knocks in this T20 World Cup, scoring 90 runs off 62 balls, which is also her first fifty in her T20I career for the West Indies. In her last five matches, Campbell has scored more than 20 runs twice. With her coming back to form at the right time, we predict that she will carry this momentum into the next match and score over 17 runs against Scotland.
Hayley Matthews Total Runs Over 27.5 @ 1.85
Hayley Matthews scored 48 runs in the last match against New Zealand Women playing a key role at the top of the order in setting up the run-chase for her side. She is in good form coming into today's match against Scotland Women and we back her to score over 27 runs.

Scotland Women announced their arrival on the big stage with absolute authority, routing a strong Ireland side by 40 runs in Manchester. Setting a robust total of 161/5, the batting engine was guided beautifully by captain Kathryn Bryce, who smashed a supreme 60 off just 39 balls, boosting her overall tally to 278 runs at a rapid strike rate of 152.74. Her sister, Sarah Bryce, provided excellent support with a quick-fire 49 off 35 deliveries.
The batting lineup is built around the Bryce sisters. Sarah’s 49 was a composed innings, and she looks comfortable against quality bowling. Ailsa Lister (6) and Darcey Carter (15) contributed, but the middle order remains untested.
Scotland’s bowling display against Ireland showed phenomenal tactical maturity. Young sensation Katherine Fraser was incredibly accurate, picking up 3/19 to rattle the opposition's chase. Slow left-armer Kirstie Gordon was equally devastating, strangling the run-rate to register magnificent figures of 3/16, while Kathryn Bryce chipped in with 2/19. Scotland will need their disciplined bowling core to land their lengths perfectly to counter the West Indies' raw power, as picking up early wickets remains their absolute clearest path to causing another massive tournament upset.
Key Players: Kathryn Bryce, Sarah Bryce, Katherine Fraser
Sarah Bryce Total Runs Over 16.5 @ 1.85
Sarah Bryce played second fiddle to her sister, Kathryn Bryce, against Ireland, scoring 48 runs off 37 balls. Sarah has complemented Kathryn well in the middle order, scoring over 30 runs in three of her last five matches. Over her last 10 appearances, she has amassed 272 runs at an impressive average of 45.33.
Kathryn Bryce Total Runs Over 18.5 @ 1.85
The Scottish skipper scored a match-winning knock of 60 runs off 39 balls in the last match against Ireland Women. She is in the form of her life heading into today's contest, having scored four half-centuries in her last seven matches and 278 runs in her last 10 T20Is, averaging 34.75. She is going to be a major difference-maker in Scotland's chances of winning this match, and we back Bryce to play a key knock, predicting her to score 30+ runs.

Headingley has not seen much Women's T20I cricket, but the one match played here suggests batters can enjoy the conditions. In that game, England Women piled up 176 before holding Pakistan Women to 142/4, showing that run-scoring becomes easier once players get settled. The average first-innings score at the venue is 176, and the only WT20I staged here was won by the team batting first.
The available numbers indicate a surface that offers plenty of runs, with the sole Women's T20I crossing the 170-run mark comfortably. Seamers may get some help from the pitch early on, particularly if cloud cover is around in Leeds, though batting generally becomes easier as the match moves on. The team winning the toss could look to set a target of around 170, make full use of the conditions up front, and then give their bowlers a chance to make use of any movement available during the second innings.
West Indies Women to win the coin toss @ 1.90
We back West Indies Women to win the coin toss in today's match against Scotland Women.
The captain winning the toss will likely look to bat first to maximize the batting-friendly nature of the Leeds pitch. Putting runs on the board in a high-stakes group-stage game allows the bowling unit to dictate field placements, while scoreboard pressure makes chasing a steep total incredibly risky.
Scotland have the winning momentum and the all‑round balance to trouble any team. Kathryn Bryce is in great form, and the bowling attack of Gordon, Fraser, and Bryce herself has the variety to keep West Indies’ powerful batters in check. But the Caribbean side has something that Scotland cannot match: a proven match‑winner in Shemaine Campbelle, who is coming off the innings of her career. Hayley Matthews is due for a big score, and the bowling attack, led by Aaliyah Alleyne and Afy Fletcher, has the experience to defend any total.
West Indies beat New Zealand, the defending champions in their first match, which suggests they have the composure to beat any opposition. Scotland are dangerous, but the step up in quality may be one bridge too far.
West Indies Women are favorites to win this match.
