Pitch and Weather Report

The pitch at Dubai International Cricket Stadium is balanced for both batters and bowlers. We expect the surface to be hard and fresh, which will suit the batters in the initial phase. While the spinners will come in handy in the middle overs, the seamers will get good bounce and movement as the game goes down the line.

Dubai's weather is expected to be warm, clear, and humid. There is no chance of rain, and the temperature on match day will be around 36 degrees Celsius.

Match Prediction

This would be the first-ever T20I match between South Africa Women and Scotland Women. SA-W would be advantageous as they are a much superior side with all their players in sublime form. SCO-W's plans should be to bowl first and bundle their opponents at a below-average score. Examining their performance on pen and paper, South Africa Women would be the firm favourites to win this match.
