England Women take on Scotland Women in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026, but will be without regular captain Nat Sciver-Brunt for the next two games. Sciver-Brunt suffered a left calf muscle strain while batting in the match against Ireland and retired hurt. Vice-captain Charlie Dean will lead the team in her absence.
Rachel Slater on Scotland's Support
Scotland's Rachel Slater said, "It's been class. Like, it's been so good. I think it's been said a lot, but it's probably the closest to a home World Cup that we'll get. Obviously a lot of us play county cricket down here, so it's been really special and we've definitely felt that, and I think it kind of gives you that extra 5% in games and even just around all the games."
