T20 World Cup Women: England vs Scotland Match Preview Odds & Predictions
England
Scotland
England will welcome arch-rivals Scotland to the Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds on Saturday. While the co-hosts have won all their games at this competition, Scotland have mixed the results. Who will win?
England Preview
England secured a win in their second game of the World Cup over Ireland, putting them on an unbeaten run of three straight games. Sciver-Brunt made a return to the squad last week after being away for a month with a torn left calf. England have been better in the World Cup as they have won the two games they played, winning over Sri Lanka and in their last game over Ireland, putting them first in the group 2 standings with four points.
England XI
Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Sophia Dunkley, Amy Jones(w), Alice Capsey, Heather Knight, Freya Kemp, Dani Gibson, Charlie Dean(c), Sophie Ecclestone, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell.
Scotland Preview
Scotland suffered a defeat in the second game of the World Cup against the West Indies, ending their four-game winning run. Scotland have to catch up to restore their winning streak and reach the playoff semifinals. They have not been consistent in the World Cup, having won once and lost once, leaving them in 3rd place in Group 2 with two points.
Scotland XI
Darcey Carter, Katherine Fraser, Kathryn Bryce(c), Sarah Bryce(w), Ailsa Lister, Megan McColl, Priyanaz Chatterji, Rachel Slater, Chloe Abel, Kirstie Gordon, Gabriella Fontenla.
England vs Scotland Prediction
England will win this clash because they have won their last two World Cup games. Scotland have remained inconsistent in their World Cup games, winning once and losing once. The two teams met only once in their head-to-head series, and England won, giving them a boost in their bid to dominate here. Nevertheless, with home advantage, England will go all out, which will no doubt affect the number of goals scored. My prediction is Over 302.5, with 1xBet offering odds of 1.92.
