England vs Scotland prediction

England have won two from two to begin the group stage but it has come at a cost with the news that skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt will miss their next couple of games with an injury. Not only is Sciver-Brunt the captain, she’s arguably England’s best batter and offers a useful bowling option too, which makes her a big loss for this match.

However, whilst Scotland contain a few decent players and a lot with experience playing in England, they remain well below the level of the tournament hosts even without Sciver-Brunt being there. England are still expected to wind up way too good for the Scots and should be backed to claim bragging rights.
