ENG-W vs WI-W: Match Preview
As things stand, England leads the series 1-0 as they dominantly defeated the West Indies in the first match, except Hayley Matthews was the one causing some trouble with bat and ball. England came out with a perfect plan, using their home conditions to their advantage. Meanwhile, West Indies fell into the perfect trap, losing regular wickets at intervals, with no support for Hayley Matthews from the other side. Chasing-wise, it was a simple chase as England started well in the powerplay without losing any wickets and then accelerated well in the middle overs to finish the chase, with Sophia Dunkley being the highest scorer.
Coming into this match, expect similar action as England comes out with a plan. One advantage for the Windies is to win the toss and opt to bowl first and aim to restrict England to an under-par total and then chase it down. If either of the things doesn’t happen, England would be the favorites to win this match and series as well. Coming to the match-ups, Windies' key wicket will be Hayley Matthews—she will be the one to dictate things, and her contribution is so important.
The rest of the batters like Qiana Joseph and Zaida James, the most experienced campaigner in this squad, should complement Hayley Matthews while batting. Bowling-wise, wickets will be the key factor, and they should be more efficient in the field as well, as a few dropped catches in the first match proved to be costly. If West Indies are able to play their natural game, they could possibly go ahead and have a chance to defeat England.
For England, they would be sticking to the same plan by being attacking in the field and restricting the visitors to another under-par total if they bowl first, and scoring 180+ runs if they bat first will be their target this match. They are expected to play with the same line-up as in the first match to seal the series, and this time they would be eyeing to dismiss Windies captain Hayley Matthews as quickly as possible, as she posed to be a threat for host England. Stay tuned for the live updates of the 2nd T20I match.
