Kathryn Bryce's team has stormed into the final with an 8-wicket win against Ireland Women. It was an excellent show from the team with the bat and the ball as they destroyed their opponents. Bryce would know her opponent's strengths and expect a good show from her players.  

Megan McColl played a match-winning knock in the last game and will look to deliver a good start with Saskia Horley. Kathryn Bryce and Sarah Bryce will look to build partnerships in the middle order with Ailsa Lister. Priyanaz Chatterji, Lorna Jack, and Katherine Fraser must deliver the goods in the lower middle order.  

Kathryn Bryce bowled brilliantly in the last game, and she will look to bowl a tight spell with Rachel Slater. Priyanaz Chatterji and Hannah Rainey will look to keep the scoring in check in the middle overs. The side will also need a good show in the ing role from Abtaha Maqsood and Katherine Fraser.

Sri Lanka Women Preview

It has been an excellent campaign for Chamari Athapaththu's team. They have comfortably won all their games in the tournament. It was a good effort by the side in the semifinal, where they defeated the United Arab Emirates Women by 15 runs. Athapaththu likes leading from the front and would like her team to ride this momentum and book a place in the T0 World Cup.  

The side will expect a good start in this game from Chamari Athapaththu and Vishmi Gunaratne. The side has an experienced middle order, and they will expect runs from Harshitha Madavi, Hasini Perera, and Kavisha Dilhari. Anushka Sanjeewani and Nilakshi de Silva add solidity to this batting lineup.  

The bowling attack did well in the last game, and the team expects early wickets from Inoshi Priyadharshani and Sugandika Kumari. Udeshika Prabodhani and Chamari Athapaththu look in good form, and the side expects a good show in the middle overs from them. Achini Kulasuriya and Kavisha Dilhari add bowling options for the team.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There are predictions for clear skies over Abu Dhabi. It isn't the flattest surface we have seen in the bust, but it is two-paced and creates doubts in the batters' minds. Spinners are doing well, as we have seen so far. The side batting first would like to have 150 runs on the board.

SCT-W vs SLW Pitch Report

Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, is a large ground. However, 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

Chasing scores at this venue is easy as the wicket doesn't change its character in the second innings. We have seen big run chases at the venue, and sides struggle to defend totals. The side winning the toss will prefer to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.
