Scotland play West Indies in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 Group B at Headingley Cricket Ground, Leeds, on Thursday 18 June 2026, with the match starting at 18:30 BST (UTC+1). Headingley Cricket Ground holds 18,350 spectators and is located in the heart of Yorkshire.

West Indies Women are two-time ICC Women’s T20 World Cup champions, winning the inaugural edition in 2009 and the 2016 title. Their cricketing tradition combines Caribbean flair with powerful batting and varied spin bowling. Players like Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin have carried the torch for Caribbean women’s cricket, and the West Indies continue to rank among the tournament’s stronger sides.

Scotland Women have been developing steadily as one of Europe’s emerging cricket nations. Each major ICC event provides invaluable international experience for players who predominantly compete in domestic Scottish cricket. Scotland’s qualification for this World Cup represents a genuine achievement and adds another chapter to the ongoing growth of women’s cricket across the British Isles.

Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds sits within Yorkshire, England’s most cricket-passionate county. With a capacity of 18,350, it provides an intimate, atmospheric venue for World Cup fixtures.
