Match Details
Windies Women vs England Women, 19th Match, Group A, ICC Women’s World T20
November 19, 2018, 1:30 AM IST
Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia
Venue
This is the penultimate game at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia and the results here have been very indifferent. While most of the games has seen some very low scores, the Windies racked up 187 in their last game against Sri Lanka at this venue. However, most of the games here have been won by the teams batting first. Thus, expect the team winning the toss to bat first.
The weather is expected to hold good as well. Hence, we should be in for a close encounter.
Preview
Both the Windies and England have been unbeaten in the tournament so far and this game is a direct shootout for the top spot in Group A.
The Windies have found different players stepping up in different games, especially with the bat. Hayley Matthews, Stafanie Taylor, Kycia Knight and Deandra Dottin have all stepped up at different junctures. Windies seem to be a well-oiled machine and a stern England test before the semi-final should hold them in good stead.
Meanwhile, England have been very convincing in their two victories. They bowled first on both occasions and were clinical with the ball, restricting the opposition to a score under 100. However, the batters will hope for a decent outing in their last group stage encounter.
