There are only three more group stage matches left in this tournament after this one and this game represents the final fixture for Scotland Women who will be determined to go out putting in a strong performance. Whether England Women will allow them to do so remains to be seen and in their last game there was evidence that Heather Knight's side are finding strong performance levels which will make them tough to stop!
Injuries to two of Australia Women's top players on Friday will have given England Women a boost although they will also be wary of risking players or putting them in potential danger in this match. We do not expect any players to be rested but if England Women are well ahead at the halfway stage they could well mix up their batting order for example.
However, this is still a game between two countries who share a border so expect plenty of ion and heated exchanges in this match on Sunday afternoon in Sharjah.

Taking on the 2022 T20 World Cup runners-up, South Africa Women, in their last game, England Women produced an excellent performance with both bat and ball to win by seven wickets with four balls remaining. Their task will now be to not let-up or drop their performance level in this match against an inferior side but who will be desperate to make things hard for them!
As she has done so many times previously, Sophie Ecclestone was key for England Women in their last match and she picked up the Player of the Match Award with figures of 2/15 from four overs. She will be very important for the side once again on this spinning wicket in Sharjah.
With the bat, England Women have power throughout their top nine and it was Danni Wyatt-Hodge alongside Nat Sciver-Brunt who both hit scores of 40+ in their last game. Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey and Heather Knight, also in the top five, are fully capable of match-winning innings in this clash.
The pitch at Sharjah looked much better in yesterday's game and England are a boundary scoring side, with the Scottish bowling lineup being bit sluggish, we predict England will hit over 14.5 fours in today's fixture.
Danielle Wyatt is the leading run-scorer (84 runs) for England in the tournament, she has scored 43 and 41 runs in the last two matches and has looked in solid form. Given her recent form, we back Wyatt to score over 20.5 runs in today's match.

Playing against England in any sport is something which all Scottish players look forward to and often will raise their game for and it would be no surprise if Scotland Women put in their best performance of this tournament in this fixture!
That would require a step-up from their showings so far in the UAE though as Scotland Women have found the going particularly tough against the more established nations in this competition.
After defeats against Bangladesh Women and West Indies Women in their opening two matches, they had their hardest clash so far against South Africa Women and were brushed aside by 80 runs. One positive from that result was five of the six bowlers picking up a wicket and we expect the opening pair of Rachel Slater and captain Kathryn Bryce to be the main threat to England's batters in this clash.
Ailsa Lister has scores of 12, 26 and 11 runs in the tournament, she has got off to good starts but couldn't convert into big scores. Given her consistency of scoring in double figures, we predict Lister to score over 9.5 runs in today's match.

The temperature is likely to be in the low thirties throughout this match in what will be conditions unrecognisable to the home temperatures of both sides in this game! Humidity will be below 50% across the game but there are no worries of any rain interruptions.

High TurnThis has been a low-scoring venue so far in the 2024 T20 World Cup and it would be a surprise if either team was able to go above and beyond 150 on a slow and slightly two-paced surface. As a result, spin bowlers will be looking forward to bowling on this pitch and the quick bowlers will be using their cutters and slower balls throughout.
The last six WT20Is in Sharjah have seen three won by the team fielding first and three by the team batting first. However, on a slow pitch, we expect both teams to want to put the other under pressure and to choose to field first if they win the toss.
Although we are yet to see the best of England Women in this tournament, they have already been tested twice and look to be growing nicely into the competition. Scotland Women will be determined and may well raise their game in this fixture but we still expect them to be well beaten.
