Pre-Match Analysis:
West Indies Women lacked clarity and a game plan against the professional England side as a result lost the match convincingly by 7 wickets. Sophie Ecclestone, Natalie Sciver, and Heather Knight completely took the game away from them. Hayley Matthews and Shemaine Campbelle were the major contributors with the bat scoring 42 and 34 runs respectively while the bowlers failed to put a break on the scoring rate. Experienced Stafanie Taylor consumed a lot of dot balls during her stay which affected them a lot. One loss from here on will hamper their chances of making it to the knockouts.
In a mouth-watering clash, it was India Women who had a last laugh against the nemesis Pakistan Women by 7 wickets with 6 balls to spare. Each and every member of the side contributed towards the win. Initially, the bowlers restricted Pakistan to less than 150 and it was the batters who won the game in a dominating manner. Shafali Verma set the chase up with a fluent 33 runs and an unbeaten 58* run partnership between Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh steered them home. They have announced their arrival in an impressive style and it’s time to keep the same momentum going for the rest of the tournament. Smriti Mandhana who missed the last game against Pakistan due to a finger injury is likely to be available for this match.
