WIW vs RSAW Match Prediction & Analysis
After wrapping up the ODI leg of the white-ball series, West Indies Women and South Africa Women now move on to the three-match T20I series beginning this Friday. South Africa dominated the home side in the ODI leg, winning the series 2-1. They will now be favorites to carry over that momentum to the T20Is, more so because they have dominated West Indies in the format in recent years.
TEAMS PREVIEW
West Indies Women Preview
West Indies Women would be disappointed after losing the ODI series to South Africa Women at home, especially after they had a 1-0 lead after the first match. The T20I series now presents them a chance to get even.
Captain Hayley Matthews will have to do most of the heavy lifting if the home side is to make an impact in this series.Β She topped the batting charts in the ODI series with 104 runs in three matches at an average of 35, while also taking four wickets at an economy of just 4.56.
Qiana Joseph and Shemaine Campbelle chipped in with some valuable runs too, and will be crucial in this batting unit.Β
Keep an eye on Stafanie Taylor as well, as she showed glimpses of some fluent form in the ODI series.
In the bowling department, Afy Fletcher will be relied upon to get the main breakthroughs, like she did in the ODI series.Β Aaliyah Alleyne, Karishma Ramharack, and Matthews bring some variety into the attack, and each of them is in good wicket-taking form as well.
South Africa Women Preview
South Africa Women would be flying high in confidence after securing a dominating 2-1 win in the ODI series against the home side. That momentum will certainly help them as they head into the T20I series.
Among the batters to watch out for will be Tazmin Brits, the top-scorer for South Africa in the ODIs with 184 runs in three matches at an average of 61.33 and a strike rate of 87.61.
The visitors also have accomplished batters like Laura Wolvaardt, Sune Luus, and Marizanne Kapp in their ranks. Wolvaardt, in particular, looked in great touch in the 50-over series and will pose a big headache to the home side again.
Among the bowlers, Nonkululeko Mlaba will lead the pack again after doing an outstanding job in the 50-over leg of the series.Β You can also back Masabata Klaas and Ayanda Hlubi to bowl a few economical overs in the middle, which can lead to a couple of wickets.
Weather Conditions
Runs donβt come easily at the Three Ws Oval. The pitch tends to grip, especially as the game wears on, which gives spinners something to work with. Batters need to work the angles and pick their moments rather than go for broke early. Seamers who use cutters and take pace off can be effective.
The weather in Barbados will be cloudy during matchday with chances of a thunderstorm in spots, followed by occasional rain and a thunderstorm in the afternoon. This means we are likely to get a truncated match.
WIW vs RSAW Pitch Report
This will be the first-ever T20I played at the Three Ws Oval. Judging by the matches played here in the ODIs, it seems to be a true wicket with something in it for both batters and bowlers.Β Anything above 150 should be competitive.
Toss: To Bat
Two of the three matches played at the Three Ws Oval in the ODI series were won comfortably by the team batting first.Β This indicates that batting first might be more beneficial here
