TEAMS PREVIEW

Ireland Women Preview

Laura Delany's side has had an excellent campaign. They won all their league games, which were big victories for the team. The batters are in excellent form, and the bowling attack has troubled the opponents. They enjoy a good record against Scotland Women, and Delany would like her players to stand tall and make it to the final.   

Gaby Lewis is the leading run-scorer in the tournament, and she will look to deliver a strong start in the game along with Amy Hunter. Delany is in form and must anchor the innings in the middle order with Leah Paul and Orla Prendergast. Eimear Richardson, Rebecca Stokell, and Arlene Kelly add firepower to this batting lineup.   

Orla Prendergast and Ava Canning will look to bowl well with the new ball and put the Scottish top order under pressure. Eimear Richardson, Cara Murray, and Arlene Kelly have done well in the middle overs, and the side will expect them to ride the momentum. Delany and Jane Maguire add depth to the bowling attack.

Ireland Women Predicted Playing XI:

Laura Delany (c), Amy Hunter (wk), Gaby Lewis, Orla Prendergast, Rebecca Stokell, Eimear Richardson, Leah Paul, Arlene Kelly, Ava Canning, Cara Murray, Jane Maguire

Ireland Women Actual Playing XI:

Amy Hunter, Gaby Lewis, Orla Prendergast, Laura Delany, Rebecca Stokell, Eimear Richardson, Leah Paul, Arlene Kelly, Ava Canning, Cara Murray, Jane Maguire

Scotland Women Preview

Kathryn Bryce's team has done well. Apart from the meltdown against Sri Lanka Women in one game, the side has lived up to the expectations. Their bowlers are in good form, and the side will need a good show from the batters. They have struggled against the Irish Women in the past and need to put those performances behind them.  

Darcey Carter and Saskia Horley are good players, and the team expects a strong show from them at the top. Kathryn Bryce has led from the front and will look to add runs in the middle order with Ailsa Lister and Sarah Bryce. Priyanaz Chatterji will look to do the heavy lifting down the order and add runs with Lorna Jack.  

The bowling attack will face a tough test in this game, and they need good performances with the new ball from Kathryn Bryce and Rachel Slater. Priyanaz Chatterji and Abtaha Maqsood must do well in the middle overs for the team to win. They expect a good show in the ing roles of Katherine Fraser and Hannah Rainey.  

Scotland Women Predicted Playing XI:

Kathryn Bryce (c), Megan McColl, Saskia Horley, Sarah Bryce (wk), Ailsa Lister, Priyanaz Chatterji, Lorna Jack, Katherine Fraser, Rachel Slater, Hannah Rainey, Abtaha Maqsood

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies would be clear over Abu Dhabi, and a good game of cricket would be in store. The track is two-paced and creates doubts in the minds of the batters. Spinners are doing well, as we have seen so far. The side batting first would like to have 150 runs on the board. 

IREW vs SCT-W Pitch Report

Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, is a large ground, but it has a quick outfield, and batters can score quick runs on this surface. Fast bowlers have struggled here as it isn't the easiest of venues for them. Spinners do well as the ball turns sharply.

Toss: To Bowl

It is one of the best venues in the world to chase scores. We have seen big run chases at the venue, and sides struggle to defend totals. The side winning the toss won't hesitate to bowl first.
