One of the favourites of the competition, West Indies (WI) suffered a humiliating 10-wicket defeat against South Africa (SA) in their opening game of the campaign. Captain Hayley Matthews is one of their consistent performers but she flopped in the game and others too failed to deliver. Stafanie Taylor tried her best to give the team some momentum but it was not enough. The bowling unit was disappointed as well.
Next up, they will challenge Scotland on October 6 in Dubai. It is a do-or-die game for the team as another defeat can rule out their chances of qualifying for the semi-final. Meanwhile, the Kathryn Bryce-led side did suffer a loss in their opening game against Bangladesh but it was an impressive effort nonetheless. Sarah Bryce notably made 49* runs while Saskia Horley picked up three wickets.

Pitch report
The surface in Dubai has been a paradise for the batters in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Batting first will be ideal as well, even though dew can play a part in the second innings. Anything over 175 runs can be a good total on the surface.
