Team Previews
West Indies Women Preview
The tournament favorites boast an embarrassment of riches, led by world-class all-rounder Hayley Matthews. With Stafanie Taylor’s experience anchoring the middle order and power-hitters like Chinelle Henry, their batting runs deep. The spin trio of Afy Fletcher, Karishma Ramharack, and Matthews makes them formidable in subcontinent conditions. Their recent 3-0 sweep against Ireland showcased their all-round dominance.
Scotland Women Preview
The Bryce sisters – Kathryn (captain) and Sarah – carry Scotland’s hopes, with the latter coming off decent WPL form. Rachel Slater’s left-arm pace offers some threat, but their lack of depth against quality spin could prove costly. Having lost 10 of their last 12 ODIs, Scotland will need career-best performances to challenge.

West Indies Women:
Hayley Matthews (c), Rashada Williams, Stafanie Taylor, Shemaine Campbelle (wk), Chinelle Henry, Aaliyah Alleyne, Afy Fletcher, Zaida James, Karishma Ramharack, Cherry Ann Fraser, Shabika Gajnabi
