IRE-W vs SCO-W Top Fantasy Picks

Top Batting Picks

• Gaby Lewis (IRE-W, BAT/C) — 3048 T20I runs, Avg 31.42, SR 117.14 in 114 matches | The most experienced batter in this match by a massive margin — 3048 runs is more than any other player across both squads combined in terms of T20I pedigree. On a difficult Old Trafford surface where application matters most, Lewis’s experience is your SL captain pick.
• Sarah Bryce (SCO-W, WK-BAT) — 1729 T20I runs in 79 matches, 94 off 43 balls in warm-up vs Pakistan | Scotland’s most explosive batter and in red-hot form heading into this World Cup. Her warm-up knock showed she’s ready to attack from ball one. On a slow surface where most batters struggle, Bryce’s ability to score at pace is the highest-ceiling batting pick from SCO-W.
• Orla Prendergast (IRE-W, ALL) — 1873 T20I runs + 63 wickets, 129 runs in pre-World Cup Tri-Series | Ireland’s most valuable fantasy asset — genuine dual-department returns from batting AND bowling. Her all-round points floor makes her the safest batting pick beyond Lewis.
• Kathryn Bryce (SCO-W, ALL/C) — 1556 T20I runs + 65 wickets in 60 innings | Scotland’s captain and their best all-rounder — batting and bowling points both on the table. On a slow gripping surface, her medium-pace seam + middle-order batting gives dual-department value. Your GL captain pick.

Top Bowling Picks

• Arlene Kelly (IRE-W, BOWL) — 88 T20I wickets | Ireland’s leading wicket-taker and most experienced pacer. Morning conditions at Old Trafford with overcast skies and moisture are exactly where Kelly’s seam bowling is most dangerous. Lock in every format — your SL VC pick.
• Abtaha Maqsood (SCO-W, BOWL) — 73 T20I wickets in 78 matches, leg-spin | Scotland’s most prolific wicket-taker — leg-spin on a slow Old Trafford surface with grip is a nightmare combination. Her middle-overs control could strangle Ireland’s scoring from overs 7–15. Your GL VC differential pick.
• Cara Murray (IRE-W, BOWL) — 45 T20I wickets | Ireland’s second-leading bowler — her pace alongside Kelly gives Ireland a genuine dual-seam threat in the powerplay. Morning conditions with moisture and cloud cover suit her seam movement perfectly.
• Rachel Slater (SCO-W, BOWL) — 35 T20I wickets, 7 wickets in Qualifier | Scotland’s strike pacer who peaked at the right time — 7 wickets in the Qualifier shows her confidence. On a surface that assists seam throughout, Slater’s new-ball spell against Lewis and Hunter is SCO-W’s most important bowling window.
