Meanwhile, West Indies Women lost its first game against New Zealand Women but bounced back well against Sri Lanka. England Women are among the strong contenders in the ICC tournament and will be favorites against West Indies. Let’s look at the prediction for the game.
Pitch Report:
The surface at Boland Paarl is known for being a good sporting wicket. While batters can have a great day, bowlers will surely get a lot of assistance from the pitch. The average 1st inning total at the venue is 146.
Team Analysis:
Hayley Matthews will have a lot of responsibility on her shoulder as she has been in good form recently. Her all-round performance in the last warm-up game against Sri Lanka helped the side to gain some momentum before the official matches. She scored 50 off 48 and then picked three wickets in the second innings. However, West Indies' batting will be a major concern for the side as the batters often faltered against the quality sides.
On the other hand, England Women are coming into this game after registering back-to-back wins in their both warm-up games. Sophia Dunkley, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Alice Capsey have batted brilliantly in the warm-up games and will be looking forward to continuing their momentum. Meanwhile, Lauren Bell, Charlie Dean, and Sarah Glenn will be crucial in the bowling department.
Probable playing XI:
England Women:
Sophia Dunkley, Danni Wyatt, Alice Capsey, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Heather Knight (C), Amy Jones, Maia Bouchier, Sophie Ecclestone, Charlie Dean, Katherine Sciver-Brunt, Kate Cross, Lauren Bell
West Indies Women:
Hayley Matthews (c), Rashada Williams, Shemaine Campbelle, Shabika Gajnabi, Chinelle Henry, Trishan Holder, Aaliyah Alleyne, Zaida James. Djenaba Joseph, Afy Fletcher, Shamilia Connell, Karishma Ramharack
