ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier 2021: Match 10, Scotland Women vs France Women - Preview, predicted XIs, match prediction, live streaming, weather forecast, and pitch report

In the last game of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Europe Qualifiers, the Scotland Women will lock horns with the France Women at the La Manga Club Bottom Ground in Cartagena, Spain. Scotland have already qualified for the Qualifiers next year whereas France have already been knocked out of the tournament. Both sides will be looking to finish the tournament on a high.

Scotland Women have been sensational in this tournament. They are sitting comfortably at the top of the table with six points to their name. They have won all three of their games and a top-two finish is certain, irrespective of other results.

Scotland Women were ruthless in their previous game against Germany as they knocked out their opponents for just 30 and chased down the total in five overs. They should be expected to repeat the same performance in their last clash against France.

France, on the other hand, are reeling at the bottom of the table. Nothing has gone right for them in the tournament. Their batters have failed miserably and haven't managed to get a total above 50 in each of their games.

The pressure of facing the top sides has got the better of the French side so far. With the last game scheduled against Scotland, they will be hoping to give the table-toppers a fight.
