T20 World Cup: Group B leaders England will aim to solidify their pole position and guarantee themselves a spot in the knockout stages of the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup when they face neighbours Scotland at Headingley in Leeds on Saturday.

Hosts and 2009 winners England come after securing successive victories over Sri Lanka and Ireland. In contrast, the third-placed Scotland arrive after capturing their maiden tournament win against Ireland in Manchester before pushing the West Indies to the absolute limit in Leeds.

The match will also mark only the second short-format meeting between the two sides, following England's comprehensive 10-wicket triumph over Scotland during the 2024 edition. But England’s campaign has been disrupted by a significant setback - skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt has been sidelined for the upcoming two fixtures after aggravating a calf strain during the chase against Ireland.
