In an exhilarating match during the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, the West Indies Women triumphed over Scotland Women, claiming victory by six wickets in the eighth match of the tournament. The encounter, held on October 6th at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, showcased moments of brilliance and tense excitement, notably during Scotland’s innings where a critical run-out of Lorna Jack shifted the ?momentum in favor of the Caribbean team.

A critical mix-up between Lorna Jack and Darcey Carter

A pivotal moment in Scotland’s innings occurred in the 16th over when a miscommunication between Jack and Darcey Carter led to Jack being run out. Qiana Joseph delivered a ball that Jack cut to backward point, prompting a run. However, as Carter initially responded but then hesitated, Jack found herself stranded mid-pitch, unable to return safely and got run out by Stafanie Taylor. This unfortunate mix-up not only ended Jack’s innings at 11 runs off 11 balls, but it also compounded Scotland’s struggles as they lost vital momentum towards the end of their innings.

Chinelle Henry shines as Player of the Match

Batting first, Scotland managed to post a total of 99 runs after losing eight wickets in their allotted 20 overs. The innings was characterized by a lack of substantial contributions from the batters, as none managed to surpass the 30-run mark. The West Indies bowling attack, spearheaded by Afy Fletcher, proved formidable. Fletcher claimed three crucial wickets in her four-over spell, severely limiting Scotland’s scoring opportunities.

In reply, the Caribbean made light work of the modest target set by Scotland, easily chasing down 101 runs in their 12th over while losing only four wickets. Qiana emerged as the standout performer for the West Indies in the second innings, scoring an impressive 31 runs off 18 balls, including three boundaries and a six. Her aggressive batting, coupl???ed with steady contributions from her teammates, ensured a comfortable victory for the Caribbean side.

Chinelle Henry was named Player of the Match for her all-round performance. Although she took only one wicket in her four-over spell, she demonstrated exceptional control by conceding just 10 runs, achieving an outstanding economy rate of 2.50. In the second innings, Henry further contributed to her team’s success by scoring a vital 18 runs, remaining not out as the West Indies crossed the finish line.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at Dubai International Cricket Stadium offers a well-balanced contest between batters and bowlers. Fast bowlers, in particular, benefit from noticeable swing in the early stages, making the new ball’s movement a crucial factor. This period often proves decisive for the bowling side, as seamers can exploit both swing and bounce effectively.

However, as the ball loses its shine and the initial overs pass, the conditions shift in favor of the batters. The pitch’s even nature and diminishing assistance for bowlers allow batters to play their shots more freely as the game progresses.
