TEAMS PREVIEW

Cook Islands Women Preview

Gabby Sullivan and her players will be under pressure heading into this game. They suffered a crushing loss in the last game against Fiji, losing by 9 wickets. The team failed both on the batting and bowling fronts in the last game and shall look to bounce back. Gabby Sullivan must lead from the front for the team to do well.  

Gabby Sullivan is the star batter for the team, and she will look to put up a good performance at the top with Tailor Maika. The middle order folded quickly in the last game, and the team needs Zamera Maeva, Sonnia Vaia, and Esther Williams to build partnerships. Tetiare Mataora and Koitai Mataora must add quick runs in the lower middle order.  

The bowling attack didn't trouble the batters in the last game. The side needs early wickets from Gabby Sullivan and Esther Williams to have a chance in this game. Sofia Samuels and Aketa Vailoa must do well in the middle overs. Lily Lamb and Zamera Maeva must deliver the goods in the supporting role. 

Cook Islands Women Predicted Playing XI:

Gabby Sullivan (c), Tailor Maika, Zamera Maeva, Sonnia Vaia (wk), Esther Williams, Tetiare Mataora, Koitai Mataora, Daena Kataina, Lily Lamb, Sofia Samuels, Aketa Vailoa

Cook Islands Women Actual Playing XI:

Vanuatu Women Preview

Rachel Andrew and her players have made a confident start in the tournament. The side registered a 10-run win against the Indonesia Women in their opening game. The batting lineup looks in good form. Andrew would look to build on the momentum and move up on the points table.  

Rachel Andrew led from the front and played a match-winning knock in the last game. She will look to deliver a good start with Valenta Langiatu. Nasimana Navaika is in good form and shall look to steer the innings in the middle order with Selina Solman and Alvina Chilia. Susan Stephen and Gillian Chilia are good hitters and strengthen this batting lineup.  

Rachel Andrew and Vanessa Vira bowled well in the last game, and the team expects early breakthroughs from them. Selina Solman and Rayline Ova must keep pressure on the batters in the middle overs.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It will be overcast skies over Suva, and we can expect a slow wicket, similar to what we saw on the first day. Batters would struggle in this tournament to score runs. A score above 130 runs would be good for the side batting first, with the average first-innings score being 113 runs.

COK-W vs VAN-W Pitch Report

Albert Park 2, Suva, is a small cricket ground with straight and square boundaries pulled in. Playing shots is easy for the batters once they get their eyes set. Fast bowlers do well under overcast conditions. Spinners can turn the ball on this surface, which causes problems for batters.

Toss: To Bowl

In the past, we have seen most sides win at this venue when bowling first. The surface was slower than normal on the first day. Posting a total in such conditions is never easy. The team winning the toss shall opt to bowl first and restrict their opponents to a small total.
