Women's T20 World Cup 2026: Match 25, SL W vs SCO W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s WT20 WC match?

Sri Lanka Women (SL W) will be looking to end their campaign on a high when they take on Scotland Women (SCO W) in both teams' final group stage game at the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup on Friday, June 26, at Old Trafford in Manchester.

Sri Lanka have minimal chance of qualifying for the playoff. They are currently fourth in the standings with four points to their name. They will need both New Zealand and the West Indies to lose their final group match by huge margins, since their net run rate stands at -0.973.

Scotland, on the other hand, have one win to their name, beating Ireland by 40 runs at the same venue. The Kathryn Bryce-led side, however, have had some decent performances at the T20 World Cup, giving New Zealand and the Windies some trouble despite falling short of a win.
