Preview: On Tuesday, October 15, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai, England Women (ENG-W) will play West Indies Women (WI-W) in Match 20 of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. With three victories in as many games, England leads the points standings. However, the Caribbean team needs to win this game in order to advance to the postseason.
With a higher Net Run Rate (NRR) than both South Africa and England, who are now in second and third place, the West Indies are in the lead. Even South Africa cannot afford to take the match lightly, as a crushing loss may see them eliminated from the competition. They will be hoping for the same outcome from the sidelines. The match that is coming up will undoubtedly determine which of the top two teams advances in the competition.
ICC Womens T20 World Cup, 2024, 20th T20I Match, ENG-W vs WI-W
Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai
Date & Time: Tuesday, October 15, 7:30 PM
Pitch Report: Batter preference is common at Dubai International Stadium. Bowlers who can create significant pace off the pitch are considered pace bowlers. Furthermore, the spinners are not given a lot of assistance and are not offered enough turn-on. On the plus side, though, is that they can count on the additional bounce off the pitch. There is no chance of rain during the game due to clear skies.
PROBABLE PLAYING XI
England Women: Maia Bouchier, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Sophia Dunkley, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Heather Knight (c), Amy Jones (wk), Danielle Gibson, Charlie Dean, Sarah Glenn, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Bell.
West Indies Women: Hayley Matthews (c), Stafanie Taylor, Shemaine Campbelle (wk), Deandra Dottin, Chinelle Henry, Qiana Joseph, Mandy Mangru, Ashmini Munisar, Aaliyah Alleyne, Afy Fletcher, Karishma Ramharack.
