Prepared to welcome New Zealand Women for three ODIs and five T20 internationals are the West Indies Women. Both teams will be attempting to fill the gaps left by retiring players because it is a fairly lengthy tour. Despite playing at home, the West Indies is considered the overwhelming underdog at all the top cricket betting sites.
Match Preview
Since this is the opening game of the series, the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium’s field will be brand-new and firm. Early on, it should advantage the batsmen, but as it starts to slow down, it might also help the slower bowlers. On the day of the match, Antigua is forecast to experience a few showers, therefore the game may be cut short. At Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, batting first results in an average score of 239 points. The toss winner’s team will attempt to bat first.
Team Preview
Since losing by 157 runs to Australia Women in the Women’s World Cup Semi-Final, this will be West Indies Women’s first game in this format. With 260 runs overall, including 119 against New Zealand Women, captain Hayley Matthews led the West Indies Women in run scoring at the 2022 Women’s World Cup. While Hayley Matthews led the team with 10 wickets, Shamilia Connell and Chinelle Henry each grabbed seven wickets at the World Cup.
The White Ferns, who will host the 2022 Women’s World Cup, performed quite poorly and placed sixth out of eight teams back in February and March of this year. On March 26 against Pakistan Women, Suzie Bates made 126 runs off 135 balls in the final Women’s One Day International for New Zealand. The only New Zealanders to record 10 wickets at the 2022 Women’s World Cup were Frances Mackay and Lea Tahuhu, although Mackay is not included in the lineup for this series.
