BAN-W vs SCO-W Women's T20 World Cup 2024: The opening clash of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 will see Bangladesh face off against Scotland in an exciting match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Thursday, October 3.

The Asian side will be looking to carry this momentum into their group-stage opener and make a strong start to their World Cup campaign. Scotland, on the other hand, showcased a competitive performance in the lead-up to the tournament.
They secured a convincing 8-wicket victory against Pakistan but also fell short against Sri Lanka in their second warm-up game. Led by Kathryn Bryce, Scotland will be aiming to make their mark in the tournament.
Bangladesh and Scotland face a challenging path in Group B of the Women's T20 World Cup, as they will compete against powerhouses like England, South Africa, and West Indies. Both teams will need to be at their best to secure a spot in the knockout stages, and a winning start will be crucial for that.
