In the opening match of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first against Scotland in Sharjah.
Captain Nigar Sultana, marking her 100th T20I, expressed confidence in the pitch’s batting conditions, while Scotland’s Kathryn Bryce agreed on the strategy to set a target.
Bangladesh, ranked ninth in T20I, has historically dominated Scotland, winning all four prior encounters and seeking their first World Cup victory since 2014.
Scotland, making their World Cup debut after a commendable performance in the qualifiers, aims to showcase their skills on this prestigious stage.
Kathryn Bryce recently garnered multiple accolades, including Women’s Player of the Year. This tournament is historic as it is the first Women’s T20 World Cup held at a neutral venue, having been moved from Bangladesh to the UAE due to protests.
The excitement is palpable as both teams prepare to make their mark!
