Australia Women vs West Indies Women Team Previews
Australia Women (Match Odds – 1.05)
On the ground, Meg Lanning’s side is roaring. They have won all of their games and come into this match with a 141-run victory over the hosts, New Zealand Women. Their batters appear to be in good form, and their bowlers have also performed admirably. The team would like to win its fourth game in a row and maintain its lead at the top of the points table.
Rachael Haynes has done well at the top, and she hopes to form a strong partnership with Alyssa Healy. Lanning, Beth Mooney, and Ellyse Perry make up the side’s very strong middle order, and they would look to form partnerships during the game. The team would also like to see good performances from Tahlia McGrath and Ashleigh Gardner, who both played well in the previous game.
The Australian bowling attack put on a fantastic performance in the previous game. Darcie Brown and Perry bowled strong spells with the new ball, and more of the same is expected of them. Amanda Wellington and McGrath leaked some runs against New Zealand and would like to put on a better performance in this game. Megan Schutt and Gardner bolster the team’s bowling attack.
Australia Women Squad
Meg Lanning (c), Rachael Haynes (vc), Darcie Brown, Nic Carey, Ash Gardner, Grace Harris, Alyssa Healy, Jess Jonassen, Alana King, Tahlia McGrath, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Amanda-Jade Wellington
Predicted XI: Meg Lanning (c), Alyssa Healy (wk), Rachael Haynes, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath, Ashleigh Gardner, Alana King, Amanda Wellington, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown
West Indies Women (Match Odds – 10.00)
Stafanie Taylor’s team suffered a crushing defeat in their most recent match against India Women. The team was bowled out for 162 runs, giving India a 161-run victory. Their batting hasn’t been at its best so far, which will be a source of concern for the team. Taylor would be aware of the magnitude of the challenge in this game and would want her batters to perform to their full potential.
Haley Matthews is in fine form, and she put on a good show with Deandra Dottin in the previous game. The side would like to get off to a similar start here. The middle order has been inconsistent, and the trio of Kycia Knight, Shemaine Campbelle, and Taylor will have to form alliances. For the side to put up a formidable total in this game, Chedean Nation and Chinelle Henry must add runs down the order.
Their bowlers would face a difficult test following their poor performance against the Indians. Shamilia Connell performed admirably with the new ball, but the other bowlers struggled. Matthews and Shakera Selman will need to bowl tight spells to put the Australians on the defensive. In this game, the team would also like to see good bowling from Anisa Mohammed, Aaliyah Alleyne, and Taylor.
West Indies Women Squad
Stafanie Taylor (c), Anisa Mohammed (vc), Aaliyah Alleyne, Shemaine Campbelle, Shamilia Connell, Deandra Dottin, Afy Fletcher, Cherry Ann Fraser, Chinelle Henry, Kycia Knight, Hayley Matthews, Chedean Nation, Karishma Ramharack, Shakera Selman, Rashada William
Predicted XI: Stafanie Taylor (c), Deandra Dottin, Hayley Matthews, Kycia Knight, Shemaine Campbelle (wk), Chedean Nation, Chinelle Henry, Aaliyah Alleyne, Anisa Mohammed, Shakera Selman, Shamilia Connell
