History beckons Scotland as they eye a glorious entrance to the Women's T20 World Cup 2024. Scotland secured their maiden qualification in a Women's World Cup after beating Ireland in the semi-final of the ongoing T20 World Cup qualifiers in Abu Dhabi. Since it's a tournament of its own, they will be eyeing the title and breaking the winning streak of Sri Lanka, who survived a scare in the semi-final against the UAE amid an unbeaten run to the final. Scotland's only loss in the tournament came against Sri Lanka and there will be a score to settle.
The final holds a lot of significance as the groups for the Women's T20 World Cup will be confirmed. The winner will advance to the tournament as Qualifier 1 and will be in Group A alongside Australia, India, Pakistan and New Zealand while the loser will be in Group B with England, South Africa, West Indies and Bangladesh.
Sri Lanka start as favourites but Scotland with the miraculous run they have had can't be counted out and it promises to be a cracker in the Gulf night sky.
