Shane Deitz has promised his West Indies side will be at their best as they take on Scotland in their second ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 match.
Both teams head to Headingley off the back of impressive wins, with the Windies defeating defending champions New Zealand in a thriller.
Scotland earned their first-ever World Cup win by beating Ireland, and Deitz knows their opponents will be aiming for a big impact after a tough six-wicket loss to the West Indies in the 2024 edition of the tournament.
“We had a pretty good win against them last time,” the Windies head coach said. “We bowled first, we restricted them a bit, and then Deandra (Dottin) went in and smacked a few and got us over the line with a good net run-rate.
“But we've played them in ODI cricket since then, and they've got a few new players, but I also think a lot of players are playing in the English game, and they will be a much harder test than they were last time.
“They had a great win, so they'll be flying high and full of confidence. They've got some good players all around, a good mix, they hit different areas.
