England will battle Scotland in today's (Sunday, October 13) afternoon match of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 in Sharjah. The two teams have made a contrasting start to their respective campaigns in the mega event.
While England are yet to lose a game in the group stage, the Scots are yet to record a win. England have defeated South Africa and Bangladesh in their two games of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 so far. On the other hand, Scotland have suffered defeats at the hands of South Africa, Bangladesh, and the West Indies.
The Scots have been eliminated from the race to the semifinals, but they can spoil England's chances by defeating them today. Before the contest between England and Scotland starts, here's a preview for this Women's T20 World Cup 2024 clash.
