The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will begin with the host Bangladesh and debutant Scotland’s match, which is scheduled to take place on 3 October 2024, at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Bangladesh and Scotland are in Group B, and both will try to strengthen their position in this group by winning their first game. Bangladesh is a firm favorite to win this match because they are a superior team to Scotland based on the ICC Women’s T20 Team Rankings; plus, Bangladesh Women had a one-sided head-to-head record against Scotland Women, and upon that, Scotland is making their Women’s T20 World Cup debut in this edition, so pressure will be on Scottish girls. Considering all of this, it is pretty easy to predict who will win today’s match.

Pitch Report, Sharjah: Ban W vs Sco W, Match No. 1, Women’s T20 World Cup 2024
The pitch at Sharjah Cricket Stadium will provide minor assistance to fast bowlers early in the powerplay. The batters will benefit from the track’s even speed and bounce to score some quick runs against the hard ball. However, as the ball ages, spinners will thrive on this surface, confusing batsmen with their trickery and variations throughout the middle overs. Later in the evening, the seamers might see some seam movement beneath the lights.
