The Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 continues to bring exciting cricket action, and today’s match between Scotland and West Indies has grabbed the attention of fans around the world. AllPaanel brings you the latest updates from this important tournament clash.
Scotland won the toss and decided to bowl first against West Indies at Headingley. The Scottish team has shown confidence after their impressive win over Ireland and has decided to go with the same playing XI.
West Indies have made two important changes to their team. Experienced all-rounder Chinelle Henry has returned after missing the opening match against New Zealand due to an injury suffered during a warm-up game against Australia. Former captain Stafanie Taylor has also come back into the side. Zaida James and Shawnisha Hector have been left out for this match.
Before the game started, West Indies celebrated a special milestone for star all-rounder Deandra Dottin. She received a commemorative shirt to mark her 150th T20 International appearance, making it another memorable moment in her outstanding career.
The weather at Headingley was cloudy and humid, which could help the bowlers early in the match. The same pitch was used in the previous day’s double-header, where Australia defeated Bangladesh and India secured a victory over the Netherlands.
AllPaanel believes that the return of experienced players like Chinelle Henry and Stafanie Taylor gives West Indies extra strength, while Scotland will be looking to continue their winning momentum in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026.
