England and Scotland go head-to-head in the 17th match of the ICC Women's T20I World Cup 2024 on Sunday, October 13, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Scotland will end their T20 World Cup campaign with this match, and while they showed some promise in their first match against Bangladesh, they were completely outplayed by the West Indies and South Africa in their next two matches. Nevertheless, they've gained valuable experience from this tournament and will look to sign off with a spirited performance.
England, meanwhile, have played only two matches, winning both of them. Their most recent win over South Africa on Monday puts them in pole position to finish first in Group B. They'll back themselves to beat Scotland by a good margin in this match and further boost their NRR.
On that note, let's look at the top three Dream11 captaincy choices for this match.
#3 Sarah Glenn (BOWL) (ENG)
Ranked 3rd on the ICC T20I Bowlers' Rankings, Sarah Glenn is one of the best bowlers in this tournament, and she could really add to her wickets tally in this match. The leg-spinner has picked up one wicket apiece in the first two matches, but against a Scotland batting lineup that has lost lots of wickets throughout this tournament, she could wreak havoc.
Glenn has picked up 83 wickets in 66 T20Is, averaging a stellar 15.27 with the ball, and with the action shifting to Sharjah as well, she'll have plenty of assistance from the wicket. While she might not be everyone's first choice for Dream11 captaincy, Sarah Glenn is likely to haul big in this one.
#2 Nat Sciver-Brunt (ALL) (ENG)
Nat Sciver-Brunt delivered with the bat in England's last outing against South Africa on Monday, leading the way with an unbeaten 36-ball 48 in their run chase to lead them to a win. She also completed her full quota of four overs with the ball, and while she went wicketless, the fact that she bowled out bodes well for her Dream11 prospects.
While spinners may be prioritized over her, Nat Sciver-Brunt should still get opportunities with the ball in addition to what she can do with the bat. She's always been a strong Dream11 captaincy pick and remains one in this fixture.
#1 Sophie Ecclestone (BOWL) (ENG)
Sophie Ecclestone showed why she's the best bowler in limited-overs cricket right now with a POTM-winning performance against South Africa, delivering a sensational spell of 2/15 in her four overs, picking up the big wickets of Laura Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp.
It's important to note that she bowled two of her overs at the death, and that's something that could bolster her chances of picking up more wickets in this match as well.
Scotland has shown an obvious weakness to spin, losing five wickets to left-arm spin in the last match against South Africa. Ecclestone can definitely profit from this and is someone you should stick your Dream11 captaincy on without any doubt.
