Scotland upset Pakistan and Sri Lanka triumphed over Bangladesh on the opening day of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up games. Scotland successfully chased down Pakistan's total of 132/9 with two overs remaining.

The women’s T20 World Cup 2024 matches will be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium and Sharjah Cricket Stadium - two venues that have only hosted a total of 15 women T20Is so far.

The Indian women's team will look to end the hoodoo of not winning a senior World Cup when Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. will step onto the cricketing field in UAE. The World Cup starts on October 3 with India set to take on New Zealand in their first match on October 4.

With prize money equal to their male counterparts, the women's T20 World Cup will be a landmark event as momentum builds for women's cricket.

The Women in Blue came agonisingly close to tasting silverware for the first time during the 2020 edition of the tournament but fell short in the final. India finished as the runner-up, which remains as its best-ever finish at the T20 World Cup.

The warm-up matches ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup are being played in Dubai and in the opening game, Scotland stunned Pakistan. In the other encounter of the day, Sri Lanka breezed past Bangladesh even as India face former T20 champions West Indies today.

India Women will go head-to-head against West Indies Women in their first Warm-Up fixture of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the ICC Cricket Academy Ground 2 in Dubai, on Sunday,9
