TEAMS PREVIEW
West Indies Preview
Hayley Matthews and her players will be confident heading into this game. They won the ODI series 2-1 and dominated the Bangladeshis in both of their wins. They have a clean record against Bangladesh Women in this format, and Matthew would like a clinical show from her players as they aim for an early lead in the three-match series.
Hayley Matthews is in good form and will look to take on the Bangladeshi attack at the start, along with Qiana Joseph. Shemaine Campbelle, Deandra Dottin, and Chinelle Henry are powerful strikers and would aim to add quick runs in the middle order. The team has good finishers and expects runs from Nerissa Crafton and Aaliyah Alleyne in the final overs.
Bangladesh Preview
Nigar Sultana and her team will be under pressure in this game. They have fared poorly with the bat in all three ODIs, even in the one where they defeated the hosts. The Bangladeshi skipper would expect a strong fightback from her players to win this game and regain their confidence.
Sobhana Mostary has batted well and looks forward to delivering a good start in this game with Murshida Khatun. Fargana Hoque must anchor the innings in the middle order and add runs with Nigar Sultana and Sharmin Akhter. Shorna Akter and Fariha Trisna must do well in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack has struggled in the series, and the team needs early strikes from Marufa Akter and Fariha Trisna, as the hosts have a strong batting lineup. Nahida Akter and Rabeya Khan must check the scoring rate in the middle overs. Sanjida Akter Meghla and Shorna need to do well in the supporting role.
Weather Conditions
It would be good weather conditions over St Kitts. The surface is flat, but the wicket is slow, and batters must adjust to the pace before playing their strokes. The average first-innings score is 128 runs for the last two years, and the side batting first will be happy to have 150 on the board.
