🏏ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026: G2: England W vs Scotland W 🏏

Saturday triple-header: Pakistan look for a W; Australia, England target three in three

Australia are set to face Netherlands in a T20I for the first time while England will face Scotland for only the second time in the format

The action will move to Leeds where hosts England are set to take on Scotland at 6.30pm local time (5.30pm GMT). England are currently leading the Group 2 table with two wins, having beaten Sri Lanka and Ireland. Scotland are third on the table with one win in two games. They beat Ireland to notch their first-ever win at the T20 World Cup in Manchester and ran West Indies close in Leeds. These teams have met just once in this format, in the 2024 T20 World Cup, when England won by 10 wickets.

When: June 20, 2026 at 6:30 PM Local Time (11:00 PM IST)

Where: Leeds, Headingley

What to expect: In the three games played so far at Leeds, Australia restricted Bangladesh to 77, India posted 209 against the Netherlands while Scotland nearly chased down West Indies' total of 153. In the five women's T20 matches played at the venue this season, including the T20 Blast, teams batting first have won thrice, with the average first innings total in wins being 170. Spinners have had more success here compared to the pacers. Conditions are expected to be pleasant with temperatures in the early 20 degree Celsius.

Team news:

England: The hosts won't have the services of Nat Sciver-Brunt for the next two games. The regular skipper suffered a left calf muscle strain while batting in the match against Ireland and retired hurt. Vice-captain Charlie Dean will lead the team while Sophia Dunkley is likely to replace Sciver-Brunt in the eleven.

Probable XI: Amy Jones (wk), Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Sophia Dunkley, Alice Capsey, Heather Knight, Freya Kemp, Danielle Gibson, Charlotte Dean (c), Sophie Ecclestone, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell.

Scotland: Scotland have had the same combination for the last two games and are likely to stick to it.

Probable XI: Darcey Carter, Katherine Fraser, Kathryn Bryce (c), Sarah Bryce (wk), Ailsa Lister, Megan McColl, Priyanaz Chatterji, Rachel Slater, Kirstie Gordon, Chloe Abel, Gabriella Fontenla.

What they said:

"It's been class. Like, it's been so good. I think it's been said a lot, but it's probably the closest to a home World Cup that we'll get. Obviously a lot of us play county cricket down here, so it's been really special and we've definitely felt that, and I think it kind of gives you that extra 5% in games and even just around all the games." - Rachel Slater, on the support for Scotland in this World Cup.
