TEAMS PREVIEW
West Indies Women Preview
West Indies Women are set to play the final ODI of this tightly poised three-match series against South Africa Women. Playing at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua, the hosts will look to capitalize on familiar surroundings and home support. The series is level at 1β1, making this match a must-win decider.
In the first ODI, West Indies pulled off a gritty 4-wicket win via the DLS method. Chasing a DLS-revised target for 180 to be chased in 34 overs, West Indies Women got over the line with 4 wickets and 2 overs to spare. Openers Hayley Matthews and Qiana Josephβs opening stand set the tone for the chase that Stafanie Taylor completed.
However, the second ODI exposed some weaknesses in the West Indies’ setup. West Indies Women struggled under the pressure of chasing 310, collapsing to 269 all out despite half-centuries from Hayley Matthews (56) and Shemaine Campbelle (53). Their middle and lower order failed against the spin bowling of Nonkululeko Mlaba (4/33). West Indies Women might look at it as a missed opportunity to wrap up the series earlier.
In their last five ODI encounters with South Africa, West Indies trail 1β3 (1 no result). From the current squad, Hayley Matthews remains a crucial all-rounder, while Shamilia Connell has been impactful with the ball. Despite an up-and-down series so far, West Indies Women have the home advantage and a chance to challenge South Africa in this high-stakes contest.
South Africa Women Preview
South Africa Women are playing away from home in this tightly contested three-match ODI series against West Indies Women in the Caribbean. The series is currently tied at 1β1, making the final ODI a decider.
In the first ODI, South Africa posted 209/8 with Marizanne Kapp scoring 71, but rain and DLS intervention saw them lose by 4 wickets. South Africa Women put up a competitive 209 in their 50 overs, driven by Marizanne Kappβs composed 71. However, intermittent rain disrupted momentum and DLS came into play. Despite their bowlers managing breakthroughs, they fell short as West Indies clinched the match by 4 wickets.
The team rebounded strongly in the second ODI, powered by Sune Luusβs 76 off 65 and a stellar 4/33 from Nonkululeko Mlaba to secure a 40-run victory. Sune Luusβs fluent 76 lifted South Africa to 309 for 9 wickets batting first and Nonkululeko Mlaba did the rest helping South Africa win by 40 runs and level the series.
In recent head-to-head ODIs, South Africa Women have a 3β1 (1 no-result) advantage over the West Indies Women in the last five matches. The side will once again rely on experienced names like Marizanne Kapp and Sune Luus in the batting unit, while Mlaba leads the spin attack. With momentum on their side and key players in form, South Africa Women have a strong chance of sealing the series with a win in the decider.
