Match Preview
West Indies women will be taking on New Zealand women in the 1st ODI tomorrow. They are the hosts and thus have the advantage of home turf.
Both teams have seen retirements from their senior players this year and will be looking to fill the gaps by introducing some youngsters into the team. The tour consists of 3 ODIs and 5 T20Is.
West Indies women have been put back by the retirement of Deandra Dottin from international cricket. Their batting now relies on Hayley Matthews, Kyshona Knight and Stafanie Taylor.
But, these three have weak batting and will have to play really well tomorrow against a much better New Zealand women’s side.
On the other hand, New Zealand women’s team is one of the best teams in the world. All of their players are engaged in either domestic or T20 franchise cricket due to which they have some top-notch talent.
Thus, tomorrow promises to be a good game between these two sides.
