Women's T20 World Cup 2026: Match 16, ENG W vs SCO W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between England Women vs Scotland Women?

England Women (ENG W) will look to continue their unbeaten run in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 when they face Scotland Women (SCO W) in Match 16 of Group B at Headingley in Leeds.

With two wins from two matches, England sit comfortably at the top of the group standings and will be eager to strengthen their position ahead of the knockout stages. They have been one of the most dominant teams in the tournament so far. After crushing Sri Lanka by 87 runs in their opening game, they followed it up with another convincing performance. However, with Nat Sciver-Brunt ruled out for the next two games, the hosts will be led by Charlie Dean in the upcoming contest.

The Scottish side, meanwhile, has enjoyed a mixed campaign. They started their World Cup journey with an impressive 40-run victory over Ireland but were unable to carry that momentum forward in their second outing. Despite the setback, Scotland remain firmly in contention for a semi-final spot and will view this clash as a golden opportunity to cause an upset.
