IREW vs SCT-W Match Prediction & Analysis By the time this game gets underway, both Ireland Women and Scotland Women could already be out of contention for the top two places and a spot at the Women’s World Cup later in the year in India. Ireland Women are already unable to break into the top two after losing their first three games during this qualifier and only getting their first victory on the board against bottom of the table Thailand Women last time out. Scotland Women have also beaten Thailand Women in this competition and recorded a surprise win over West Indies Women in their opening fixture but defeats against Pakistan Women and Bangladesh Women look set to deprive them of a place in India. TEAMS PREVIEW Ireland Women Preview It was a fine batting performance in the first innings of match nine which set up Ireland Women for their first victory of the Women’s World Cup Qualifier when they played Thailand Women earlier this week. Opener Sarah Forbes was dismissed for 29 runs but the other two in the top three – captain Gaby Lewis and keeper-batter Amy Hunter – both made scores in the 70s before Leah Paul hit 67 not out from just 40 balls from number six. All three are likely to be key players with the bat in this game whereas with the ball it is Louise Little who will be raring to go again after taking career best figures of 5/28 against Thailand Women! Scotland Women Preview Although Scotland Women lost the game by 34 runs against Bangladesh Women on Tuesday, at one stage it looked like they could become the first team to beat them in the Qualifier when they were chasing 277. That would have been a real statement victory for the Scots, particularly after they beat West Indies Women in their opening game, but they came up short in spite of some strong lower-order batting. Overall, this has been an encouraging qualifier for Scotland Women and they will want to end it with a win against their local rivals from Ireland. Kathryn Bryce has impressed as captain as well as with her on-field performances and took two wickets with the ball against Bangladesh Women. Her sister Sarah Bryce hit a strong 42 in the last game to back up her 55 against West Indies Women and more lower order hitting from Priyanaz Chatterji (61) and Rachel Slater (61 not out) will go a long way to securing another victory. Weather Conditions Although there will be some cloud cover during Friday, it is forecast to be another hot and sunny day in Lahore with the temperature in the thirties throughout and peaking at 37 degrees. IREW vs SCT-W Pitch Report The Gaddafi Stadium is one of the quicker surfaces in Pakistan but will still offer plenty of turn for the spinners. A par score is likely to be over 250 on this wicket in Lahore. Toss: To Bat The combined three victories for Scotland Women and Ireland Women in this tournament have come when they have batted first so we predict that both captains will want to do the same ahead of the toss.
