SA vs SCO Dream11 Prediction: 3 differentials you can pick for today's Women's T20 World Cup 2024 match - October 9, 2024
South Africa and Scotland will face off in the 11th match of the ICC Women's T20I World Cup 2024 on Wednesday, October 9, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
It will be an uphill task for Kathryn Bryce and Scotland to beat South Africa, especially after suffering back-to-back defeats. However, they'll look to make the most of every opportunity they're getting in this World Cup to showcase their talent, and they're not ones to be taken lightly.
Meanwhile, Laura Wolvaardt and company will look to win and win big in this match after losing to England in their last outing by seven wickets to get their campaign back on track.
Let's now look at the top three Dream11 differentials from this match.
#3 Anneke Bosch (BAT) (SA)
South African batter Anneke Bosch's batting came under the scanner in their defeat to England, with her inability to accelerate coming in at No.3 costing the team a few valuable first innings runs that proved to be the difference in the end. While she's expected to retain her place in the team, she lost several Dream11 backers after that showing.
However, the 31-year-old is a quality batter who sealed her place in the playing XI with some solid performances leading up to the World Cup. She's likely to hold on to the No.3 spot or at worst, move down to No.4, and she'll definitely have the opportunity to score runs either way.
For those looking for a Dream11 differential option from South Africa, do look the way of Anneke Bosch.
#2 Priyanaz Chatterji (BAT) (SCO)
Scotland all-rounder Priyanaz Chatterji, misclassified as a batter on Dream11, is a neat Dream11 differential pick from this fixture. The 31-year-old seam-bowling all-rounder is another very experienced member of this Scottish side with 56 T20I appearances to her name.
She has picked up 30 wickets in those matches, and while she hasn't done much with the bat, she can score some handy runs. Considering the strength of the Proteas batting lineup, Kathryn Bryce will be forced to turn to every bowling option she has, and Priyanaz, with her knack of picking up wickets, could end up with a sizeable Dream11 points haul.
#1 Rachel Slater (BOWL) (SCO)
Left-arm pacer Rachel Slater is one to keep an eye on as Scotland go up against South Africa. The leader of their pace battery alongside Kathryn Bryce, Rachel has made a decent start to her T20 World Cup career, picking up the crucial wicket of Stafanie Taylor with a peach of a delivery with the new ball.
Irrespective of the opposition, a good delivery is a good delivery, and the fact that she operates both with the new ball and bowls at the death makes Rachel Slater one of the most dangerous bowlers in the Scottish bowling unit.
She could be a powerful Dream11 differential from this fixture.
