England vs Scotland ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 Live: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the ICC women’s T20 World Cup 2024 match no. 17, England vs Scotland at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Scotland Women have won the toss and have opted to bat
Katheryn Bryce: We are gonna have a bat first, we want to put a bit of pressure on them. One change for us. The slow outfields and slow pitches have made it difficult to have an expansive game. This is really exciting to be playing against one of the best teams in the world. Looking forward to a good contest and see what can happen.
Heather Knight: We would have batted first as well but not much fussed about bowling first. We have made two changes. We have had five days off, we need to refocus and do our best. First of all, we want to win, if we get an opportunity to improve our nrr, we will see to it.

Scotland Women: Saskia Horley, Sarah Bryce(w), Kathryn Bryce(c), Ailsa Lister, Megan McColl, Darcey Carter, Lorna Jack-Brown, Katherine Fraser, Rachel Slater, Abtaha Maqsood, Olivia Bell
