WIW vs BANW Match Prediction & Analysis

The ODI series is over, and West Indies Women beat Bangladesh 2-1 in a one-sided contest other than the second game, where Bangladesh put up a strong fight. The action now moves to the T20i series and hosts West Indies Women will look to take an early lead. Bangladesh Women have struggled with its form and will look to perform better in this game. 

West Indies Women have an excellent record against the Bangladeshis. They have won all four T20i games between the two sides. Their bowlers have troubled the batters in this series, and hosts will draw inspiration from that. It will be an uphill task for the visitors, and their poor batting form will lower their confidence. It would be interesting if the team could fight hard in this game.

HEAD TO HEAD

TEAMS PREVIEW

West Indies Preview

Hayley Matthews and her players will be confident heading into this game. They won the ODI series 2-1 and dominated the Bangladeshis in both of their wins. They have a clean record against Bangladesh Women in this format, and Matthew would like a clinical show from her players as they aim for an early lead in the three-match series.  

Hayley Matthews is in good form and will look to take on the Bangladeshi attack at the start, along with Qiana Joseph. Shemaine Campbelle, Deandra Dottin, and Chinelle Henry are powerful strikers and would aim to add quick runs in the middle order. The team has good finishers and expects runs from Nerissa Crafton and Aaliyah Alleyne in the final overs.  

The bowling attack has dominated the Bangladeshis in this series, and the team will need early strikes in this game from Deandra Dottin and Chinelle. Afy Fletcher and Aaliyah Alleyne will look to trouble the batters with tight spells in the middle overs. Matthews, Karishma Ramharack, and Zaida James add depth to the attack.

West Indies Predicted Playing XI:

Hayley Matthews (c), Qiana Joseph, Shemaine Campbelle (wk), Deandra Dottin, Chinelle Henry, Nerissa Crafton, Shabika Gajnabi, Aaliyah Alleyne, Zaida James, Afy Fletcher, Karishma Ramharack

West Indies Actual Playing XI:

Nerissa Crafton, Cherry Ann Fraser, Deandra Dottin, Hayley Matthews, Qiana Joseph, Zaida James, Jannillea Glasgow, Shemaine Campbelle, Afy Fletcher, Shabika Gajnabi, Karishma Ramharack

Bangladesh Preview

Nigar Sultana and her team will be under pressure in this game. They have fared poorly with the bat in all three ODIs, even in the one where they defeated the hosts. The Bangladeshi skipper would expect a strong fightback from her players to win this game and regain their confidence.  

Sobhana Mostary has batted well and looks forward to delivering a good start in this game with Murshida Khatun. Fargana Hoque must anchor the innings in the middle order and add runs with Nigar Sultana and Sharmin Akhter. Shorna Akter and Fariha Trisna must do well in the lower middle order.  

The bowling attack has struggled in the series, and the team needs early strikes from Marufa Akter and Fariha Trisna, as the hosts have a strong batting lineup. Nahida Akter and Rabeya Khan must check the scoring rate in the middle overs. Sanjida Akter Meghla and Shorna need to do well in the supporting role.

Bangladesh Predicted Playing XI:

Nigar Sultana (c & wk), Sobhana Mostary, Murshida Khatun, Sharmin Akhter, Shorna Akter, Rabeya Khan, Nahida Akter, Sanjida Akter Meghla, Fariha Trisna, Fargana Hoque, Marufa Akter

Bangladesh Actual Playing XI:

Sharmin Akhter, Taj Nehar, Shorna Akter, Sobhana Mostary, Dilara Akter, Nigar Sultana, Lata Mondal, Rabeya Khan, Fahima Khatun, Fariha Trisna, Sultana Khatun

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It would be good weather conditions over St Kitts. The surface is flat, but the wicket is slow, and batters must adjust to the pace before playing their strokes. The average first-innings score is 128 runs for the last two years, and the side batting first will be happy to have 150 on the board.

WIW vs BANW Pitch Report

Warner Park, St Kitts, has a flat surface and a fast outfield, and batters have scored runs on this wicket. Bowlers can exploit a bit of slowness on this track with good lines and lengths. Spinners enjoyed a good record as the ball turned sharply on this wicket.

Toss: To Bowl

The wicket has been slow in the ODI series, and putting up a big total at this venue is challenging. The team chasing the score can pace its innings. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first.
