BD-W vs SC-W Dream11 : Decisive clash set to light up concluding day of the qualifiers as two unbeaten sides clash heads for top spot today
Advertisement
When the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 Qualifier had made an advent, the level of competition and feisty encounters speculated from today’s clash is exactly what the ICC had on its mind. And with Scotland and Bangladesh squaring off against each other to consolidate their position in next year’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, this clash is expected to light up the culminating day of the marquee tournamnet.
What adds to the intrigue of this clash is not only the resounding will to finishing in the top 2 for either side but also the fact that these two outfits are in the annuls of the league standings as of now. Both have lived upto the massive expectations accorded on them with the previous two matches for either side auguring extremely well for them.
After defeating USA by 30 runs in their tournamnet opener, Scotland fell to a 5 wicket surprising defeat to PNG after failing to defend the 101 they had put on the scoreboard. It was perhaps the biggest stunning result from the group, leaving the side squandering a massive opportunity to move one step closer to the world cup, making today’s clash a must win one for them.
Elsewhere, the only side to play yesterday after their fixture against PNG was abandoned due to lashing rainfall, Bangladesh ended up putting in a 6 run win through the DLS method to be one of the two sides to have a 100% winning record in the tournamnet. Another win today would seal their spot in the World Cup, a berth they sit on the cusp of at the moment.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
With us having rain lash the ground prior to the afternoon fixture, the likelihood of heavy cloud cover looming over the track for this encounter is a very real one. Expect the clouds to pour at some stage during the clash as well or prior to it, leaving us with either a shortened clash or a curtailed match.
It’s this narrative which will lead the side winning the toss opting to field first and make the most of the pace bowling conducive conditions in the first part of the fixture.

This is going to be one of the most competitive and closely contested clash as either side looks to storm the other’s bastion and make it three successive wins for themselves. There are going to be no margins for error in this one with both the sides lined up with exceptional bowlers, a script which should see Scotland emerge as the winners from this one.

BD-W vs SC-W Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
We have picked out both the wicket-keepers from either side over here given their role with the bat. Nigar Sultana comes out to bat at number 3 for Bangladesh and although she scored just 6 runs, her role with the gloves as well and her side’s ability to snare wickets at regular intervals saw her register 17 points in Dream 11.
Elsewhere from Scotland we have chosen Sarah Bryce for this encounter after her strong performance against USA in the side’s clinical win.
BD-W vs SC-W Dream11 Batswomen
Continuing with the picks from Scotland, we have roped in Becky Glen. She scored just 4 runs in the last clash but bide her time out in the middle, showing the willingness, guile and resolve needed to craft out a big innings.
Lorna Jack accompanies her as well while from Bangladesh we have gone in with Sanjida Islam after the opener scored 19 runs yesterday. With their being a real dearth of options from either side in the batting segment, we have decided to go in with the bare minimum of three requisite bats.
BD-W vs SC-W Dream11 All-Rounders
Kathryn Bryce is undoubtedly the most exquisite player Scotland have at their disposals, seeing us choose her as they first name in our side in every encounter the side are involved in. The side’s captain scored 45 incredible runs in the previous clash along with picking up the one wicket as well, seeing her bestowed with the perfect identity of an all-rounder.
The 14 runs with the bat in difficult conditions in her last outing see us opt for Rachel Scholes a well with her picking up the new ball as well for her side.
BD-W vs SC-W Dream11 Bowling Order
Although she got just one over with the ball, she scored 32 runs in 18 balls against PNG, making the most of a dwindling bowling unit, making Fahima Khatun become the first player to come into our Dream 11 side from Bangladesh. The side’s top wicket taker, Nahida Akhtar, picked up two wickets yesterday making her our second choice for the side.
We are also choosing Jahanara Alam from the side while from Scotland, Katherine Fraser becomes our lone pick with the one wicket a piece in the previous couple of matches.
