England and Scotland will clash in the 17th match of the ICC Women's T20I World Cup 2024 on Sunday, October 13, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

This match is Scotland's last in this World Cup, and while they haven't been that competitive, they've shown plenty of positive signs in this tournament. They'll want to produce a memorable performance against England to wrap up their campaign.

England, meanwhile, haven't put a foot wrong in their opening two fixtures. A win in this one should seal their place in the semi-finals and get them one step closer to topping Group B.

So without further ado, let's now look at the top three Dream11 differentials from this fixture.


#3 Ailsa Lister (WK) (SCO)

Scotland keeper-batter Ailsa Lister could be a handy Dream11 differential to include in your teams. She has one of the highest T20I career strike rates in this Scotland squad, scoring 519 runs in 31 innings at a strike rate of 131.39.

The aggressive batter has crossed double digits in all three innings so far, with the highlight being a 26-run knock against the West Indies. While batting at Sharjah definitely won't be easy, Lister's attacking nature of batting could fetch her plenty of points if it comes off, including those for strike rate and boundaries scored.

While she's definitely a very high-risk pick considering the quality of the England bowling attack, she could reward her Dream11 backers with a rare high score from a Scotland batter.


#2 Amy Jones (WK) (ENG)

Considering that Amy Jones is one of the best keeper-batters in the world, it's a surprise to see her with low ownership levels. However, with Scotland keeper Sarah Bryce scoring some runs in this tournament, it is understandable.

Those who persist with Amy Jones on Dream11 could get rewarded by the England keeper. At Sharjah, with the spinners operating in full flow, stumping and catches behind the stumps is a real possibility, and Amy could match any points the other wicket-keeping options the others score with just her glovework.

The Scotland bowlers will definitely be effective on this slow surface and given that England won't cease their attacking game, there's a good chance that wickets will fall and Amy Jones will get some good time out in the middle and score some runs.

While her low batting position isn't ideal, Amy Jones could well emerge as the best Dream11 differential in this match.


#1 Abtaha Maqsood (BOWL) (SCO)

Scotland leg-spinner Abtaha Maqsood will want to close this tournament out with a wicket to her name. She has some solid numbers in international cricket, picking up 54 wickets in 56 T20Is at a wonderful economy rate of 5.46.

The 25-year-old has bowled her full quota of overs in two of the three matches in this tournament, and as Scotland plays again at Sharjah, there's a great chance she will pick up a couple of wickets against England. She came really close to doing so against Bangladesh in the opening fixture when she bowled a tight and miserly spell.

Abtaha Maqsood's ownership is in single digits and her loyal Dream11 backers could be rewarded big if she delivers in this fixture.
