Match Prediction

The United States of America Women and Scotland Women face off in the 29th Match of the Super Six stage at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier 2026. Both teams have shown resilience and tactical acumen in the tournament so far, making this clash particularly intriguing. The USA Women have displayed a balanced approach with effective contributions from their top and middle order batters, backed by consistent bowling performances. Scotland Women, on the other hand, are known for their aggressive batting lineup and a disciplined bowling attack, which often puts pressure on opponents in the powerplay overs. Recent form favors Scotland slightly, having won three of their last five encounters with a commanding presence in both batting and bowling departments. However, the USA team’s recent upsets and ability to adapt quickly to different pitch conditions make them formidable competitors. Historically, head-to-head encounters show a tight contest with neither side dominating overwhelmingly, yet Scotland has edged past the USA in their last two meetings. Key player performances include Laura White from the USA, who has been consistent with the bat and a handy spinner, while Scotland’s Sophie Devine has led both with bat and ball, contributing crucial runs and wickets. Strategically, the USA could leverage their varied bowling attack to exploit early wickets, while Scotland might look to utilize power-hitters to set or chase down imposing totals swiftly. Considering the form, player impact, and tactical nuances, Scotland appears slightly favored, but the USA’s unpredictability and home ground acclimatization keep the contest evenly poised.

Score Prediction

Considering the pitch dynamics of Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground and conditions expected on the day, the first innings total is likely to be competitive. If the USA Women bat first, their strong middle order and ability to accelerate during the death overs could bring their total to around 140-150 runs. Conversely, if Scotland Women take first strike, their aggressive top order and capacity to capitalize on powerplay overs might see them scoring slightly higher, in the range of 145-155 runs. Given the ground's moderately balanced conditions, the team batting first must aim for at least 145 runs to put up a challenging score.
