TEAMS PREVIEW
West Indies Preview
West Indies Women have stormed into the semis after a stunning performance against England Women in their final group match. 23-year-old left-hander Qiana Joseph smashed an impressive 52 runs off 38 balls, forging a 100-run alliance with her captain, Hayley Matthews, who scored 50 off 38. This partnership powered the 2016 champions to successfully chase down the 141-run target with 12 balls and six wickets remaining.
New Zealand Preview
New Zealand Women have had a terrific campaign in this World Cup after suffering a horrific year in the format. They lost only game in the group stage β against Australia β and have looked pretty solid otherwise.
Weather Conditions
The surface at Sharjah Cricket Stadium is known for its slow and tacky nature. Once the new ball loses its luster, batters will find it difficult to time the ball. Success will require both patience and clever tactics to accumulate runs. Expect both teams to rely heavily on their spin bowlers, so batters mustnβt get stuck in their innings. Making the most of the powerplay overs is essential, as it sets the stage for capitalizing on scoring opportunities as the match progresses.
The weather in Sharjah will be hot, humid, and clear. There is no chance of rain, so we will get a full match.
