Scotland Women’s qualification is a landmark for the Scottish game. Like Ireland, they play in conditions that mirror England’s, making this as close to a home event as an Associate side could hope for. The Bryce sisters are the heart of the team.

STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES

Strengths: Kathryn Bryce is a world-class all-round talent who has performed against full members; English-style conditions remove a key disadvantage; and the squad is tight-knit and highly motivated.

Weaknesses: A significant gap in batting depth and power against every full member, limited senior ICC tournament experience, and bowling variety thin beyond the Bryce sisters.

WORLD CUP HISTORY

The 2024 edition was Scotland Women’s debut at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup — the reward for years of domestic investment.

SEASON PREVIEW

Scotland’s campaign is about arrival on the world stage as much as results, but Kathryn Bryce ensures they compete hard. A single win would be historic; a Super 8 place would be the story of the tournament.

KEY PLAYERS

  • Kathryn Bryce — Captain, medium-fast bowler and hard-hitting bat; the finest cricketer Scotland Women have produced.
