Preview: On 18th October i.e. Saturday West Indies women’s cricket team is going to face the New Zealand women’s cricket team in the Semi-Finals 2 of the T20 World cup match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah.
The Sophie Devine-led side has played an attacking brand of cricket in the event so far. The side fought their way to earn the semi-final spot after finishing second in the group stage. They secured a convincing 54-run win in a do-or-die game against Pakistan. But with new challenges ahead, the White Ferns will be hoping to take similar confidence in the knockout stage.
On the other hand, West Indies topped Group B, winning three out of their four games. The former champions have the experience of playing such crucial games and will go in with the same mindset. Hayley Matthews and Women need to back their strengths coming into the game.
