IR-W vs SC-W Dream11 : Scotland look to make on last bid for a shot at the glistening trophy when they take on Ireland in their series culminator
Advertisement
When the Euro-Asia Quadrangular Series had made an advent a week back, Scotland had entered the fray of the prestigious series as a side who were looking to use this as an opportunity to tune out their squad for the upcoming T20 qualifiers. However the rampant spree of results the side has gone on ever since then has been unprecedented with the team finding themselves in with a very realistic chance of winning the glistening trophy.
Having won four out of the five contests the side has competed in, the team find themselves placed in the annuls of the league standings, level on points with Thailand with only the smallest margin of net run-rate separating the two sides. And Scotland did themselves a massive favour yesterday as they trounced Netherlands by 62 runs by DLS method, stalling their opponents to 60-8 after making a hefty 148-4 while batting first.
With the trophy well within sight, expect Scotland to come hot out of the blocks today in what will be the culminating encounter for them and Ireland in the four country series. While Scotland have a massive amount at stake today, Ireland themselves head into the clash with plenty of ramifications with the side having massively underachieved at the series.
Having been on an ascendancy in 2019 in the women’s cricketing fraternity, Ireland have been surprisingly abysmal in the ongoing series. They have failed to string together a run of decent performances, one which sees them slumped in third place, a position they’ll finish the series in irrespective of their showing against Scotland today.
IR-W vs SC-W Pitch Conditions And Toss
What this surface has offered to the bowlers in the day clashes, especially the pacers has been more than adequate movement. The new ball has deviated fruitfully for the faster bowlers, frisking around to make it tough for batters to open their arms and score freely.
Expect today to be no different with the surface having gotten little time to be worked on by the ground team. It’s a narrative which will lead the side winning the toss to filed first here and extract whatever pace, swing and bounce their bowlers can get.

IR-W vs SC-W Dream 11 Picks
Wicket-Keepers for IR-W vs SC-W Dream11
Her side’s top scorer and most pivotal player with the bat, the cricket Sarah Bryce has doled out has made for pristine viewing. She’s been unperturbed by whatever has been thrown at her, scouring her way to the boundary with ease to help Scotland rake up some momentous totals in the series.
Her best performance was a 63 run innings against the most exquisite bowling attacking in the series, a knock where she was indomitable against Thailand. Expect her to go on and score big today as well against a bowling unit who’ll find it difficult to contain her.
Batswomen for IR-W vs SC-W Dream11
We have opted for the bare minimum of three bats in this facet with their being a real dearth of options, especially from Ireland’s side. The best pick from the side comes in the form of Gaby Lewis, someone who went onto amass a rich bagful of runs against Netherlands, a performance in whose wake her team ended up trashing the opposition.
Elsewhere from Scotland we have opted for the services of Becky Glen and Lorna Jack. Jack was in sensational touch yesterday, cleaning apart Netherlands to guide her side to a healthy score of 148 and we fully envisage her mustering another huge knock today as well.
All-Rounders for IR-W vs SC-W Dream11
This facet was the one we were looking forward to the most to craft when we began building our Dream 11 side for this particular fixture. The star performers from Ireland are all lined up here, players who have sublimely blended their abilities with both the bat and ball and help resume some much needed semblance for their side.
Eimear Richardson and Laura Delany are both rolled in by us with Delany going onto amass 24 in 26 balls yesterday, an innings which saw her side show some kind of a fight against an incredible Thailand outfit. Elsewhere from Scotland we have picked up Katie McGill as the lone selection from the side.
Kim Garth was someone we eyed up as well in this segment, especially after she scored 30 yesterday but her price tag and the identity of the opponent saw us veer clear of an otherwise pivotal performer for the side.
Bowling Order for IR-W vs SC-W Dream11
One thing which is a certainty in this encounter is the fact that both the sides are going to snare wickets at will. With the given conditions paired with the affinity of both these sides to lose wickets in quick succession with both the middle-orders being paper thin, we have gotten in four bowlers, a composition which should help our side amass plenty of points today.
It’s an entire trivalent which makes an advent into our side from Scotland with us picking out the ever reliable and dependable Katherine Fraser from the side. She’s been the side’s highest wicket taker, taking 10 wickets in 5 matches and is bound to return with a neat haul today as well.
She’s going to be paired by Megan McColl and Sam Haggo while our lone pick from the opposition sees Sophie MacMahon close out our Dream 11 side for the day.
