ENGW vs WIW Match Prediction & Analysis
After England Women whitewashed West Indies Women 3-0 in the WT20I series, the teams lock horns once again but this time in the 50-over format over three matches.
This opening game of the series takes place at the County Ground, Derby with a 1pm start during the half-term holidays so there should be an excellent crowd at the venue on Friday!
Recent WODIs between England Women and West Indies Women have been very one-sided with England Women winning the last three clashes by over 140 runs.
However, those games were back in December 2022 and both teams have new coaches and captains in place.
It’s a new series, the question is, will it be the same result?
TEAMS PREVIEW
England Women Preview
After such strong performances with both bat and ball during the WT20Is, there will be plenty of confidence in the England Women’s squad ahead of this opening game of the WODI series.
But there is still a bit of the unknown now that England Women have a new coach and a new captain in this format. Nat Sciver-Brunt captained intelligently in the WT20I series and this longer format should give us all an opportunity to see her show off her tactical abilities.
The experienced Tammy Beaumont is expected to continue at the top of the order and she will look to play the anchor role with Sophia Dunkley likely to take the attack to the West Indies Women’s bowlers.
Without Sophie Ecclestone, there will be plenty of opportunities for Charlie Dean and Alice Davidson-Richards to show off their spinning skills while Kate Cross and Lauren Bell will provide the pace!
West Indies Women Preview
This will be West Indies Women”s first WODI action since April when they took part in the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2025.
Although they finished in a disappointing third place with Bangladesh Women and Pakistan Women above them, they won three of their last four matches which was impressive considering the games took place in Lahore where the conditions did not suit West Indies Women.
Just as we saw during the WT20Is, West Indies Women are likely to rely heavily on all-rounder and captain Hayley Matthews who has scored 2922 runs and taken 119 wickets in this format.
Aaliyah Alleyne and Afy Fletcher both impressed with the ball during the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2025 and we anticipate that they, along with Matthews, will be the biggest threat in Derby,
Weather Conditions
Humid conditions are forecast throughout the day in Derby on Friday with the temperature in the mid-high teens. There could be some rain in the early afternoon before dry conditions in the second half of the afternoon and into the early evening.
ENGW vs WIW Pitch Report
This will be a good batting surface in Derby with consistent bounce and a quick outfield. There will be turn for the spinners and the overhead conditions could also assist the swing bowlers. A par score will be around 270.
Toss: To Bowl
There is likely to be a threat of rain throughout the first innings with clear skies only in the second inning. With better bowling conditions early on, we predict that both captain will want to bowl first.
