Facts:
- Scotland Women and West Indies Women have only faced each other once across all formats - an ODI in 2003 - in the history of the sport.
- Scotland Women’s captain Kathryn Bryce was yet to make her international debut (July, 2018) when West Indies Women won the T20 World Cup in 2016.
Scotland Women vs West Indies Women Chance of Winning
Everything that could go wrong went wrong for the West Indies in the opening match against South Africa. Put in to bat, the West Indians could never get going, losing wickets at regular intervals. A target of 119 was easily chased down by the South Africans.
The team from the Caribbean islands, however, are expected to bounce back against Scotland. The Scots failed to make a splash in their T20 World Cup debut, losing convincingly to Bangladesh. They were unable to find the fence regularly, managing just 5 boundaries throughout their innings.
- Scotland Women’s chances of winning - 10%
- West Indies Women’s chances of winning - 90%

Scotland Women vs West Indies Women Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
A 10-wicket loss to South Africa would have surely dented West Indies’ confidence and they will be eager to bounce back soon. They lost wickets on regular intervals with their highest partnership coming for the seventh wicket. We’re expecting them to fix that against Scotland.
We expect Hayley Mathews to go big in the match. She has really come into her own as an opener in the last two years. In 2023, she scored 700 runs in 14 matches at an astonishing average of 63.53 while she has scored 323 in 9 matches so far this year.
We also expect Deandra Dottin to go big against Scotland. Despite a 2-year self-imposed exile before returning to action, she is West Indies’ second highest run getter in T20Is with 2694 runs. The hard-hitting batter smashed three boundaries in the 11 balls she faced against South Africa. Although she couldn’t stay on the pitch for long, we expect her to announce her return to the biggest stage with a big score against Scotland.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Scotland Women vs West Indies Women Match Toss Prediction
The first afternoon match in Dubai saw South Africa register a 10-wicket win after putting West Indies in to bat. The West Indies captain had also admitted that she would have wanted to bowl first. With a bit of grass cover on the pitch, the captain that wins the toss will be looking to bowl first and have her bowlers restrict the opponents to a low score.
Weather Report
A hot Dubai afternoon is in store for the teams with temperature expected to be in the mid 30s. There is no prediction of rain, which means we can expect a full match.

West Indies Women Team Form
Prior to their loss to South Africa, West Indies Women had won 6 out of their last 8 matches. They had come into the tournament on the back of two series wins away to Sri Lanka and Pakistan. They will, however, be sweating over the fitness of Zaida James, who went off the pitch after the ball hit her on the chin, and Stafanie Taylor, who battled through knee soreness in the last match.
Scotland Women vs West Indies Women Head to Head
The two teams have never faced each other in T20 internationals. Their only competitive match in limited overs cricket was back in 2003 when West Indies beat Scotland by 10 wickets.

Scotland Women: 0

Scotland Women vs West Indies Women Betting Odds
West Indies batters expected to come to the fore
Despite losing miserably to South Africa, West Indies batters scored 50 of their 119 runs in boundaries. They smashed 11 fours and a six against South Africa’s potent bowling attack. Against an inferior bowling unit in Scotland’s, we expect the West Indians to have a field day with the bat.
Scotland will be dependent heavily on the Bryce sisters to get the runs for them. Against Bangladesh, Sarah scored an unbeaten 49 while none of her teammates scored more than 11. If West Indies bowlers can keep Sarah and Kathryn Bryce quiet, it’ll be an easy victory for them.

Scotland Women vs West Indies Women Top Batters
Kathryn Bryce to be Scotland Women’s top batter
The older of the Bryce sisters couldn’t get going against Bangladesh, where her sister Sarah scored the bulk of the team’s runs. However, Kathryn has been in great touch in 2024, scoring 188 runs in just 6 matches at an average of over 62, including two half-centuries.
Hayley Mathews to be West Indies Women’s top batter
Mathews lost her wicket early against South Africa after missing an easy shot from a wayward short ball from Marizanne Kapp. She, however, will be eager to show her quality against Scotland. Mathews averages over 35 this year, which includes three fifties in the 9 matches she has played in 2024.
Scotland Women vs West Indies Women Top Bowlers
Rachel Slater to be Scotland Women’s top bowler
With 11 wickets in 7 matches, Slater is Scotland’s leading wicket taker this year. Prior to the match against Bangladesh, she had taken 6 wickets in three matches. We are expecting the medium pacer to get some purchase from the grass on the wicket and emerge as her team’s best bowler.
Afy Fletcher to be West Indies Women’s top bowler
37-year-old Afy Fletcher has taken 16 wickets in the 9 matches she has played this year. The match against South Africa was the only match in 2024 where she failed to pick up a wicket. We are expecting the leg spinner to be among the wickets once again against Scotland.
