ENG-W vs WI-W Match Details

ENG-W vs WI-W Pitch Report

The Lord’s pitch helps fast bowlers swing the new ball early, as the famous slope on the ground is very pronounced. Once the batsmen are set, scoring becomes easier, but the slope can sometimes cause uneven bounce, especially for bowlers bowling from the pavilion end. Expect a tough start for the batsmen and a good chance for the bowlers in the first few overs of this T20 game, as the surface flattens out as the innings progresses.

ENG-W vs WI-W Head-to-Head Record (H2H)

The h2h record favours England by a big margin, though West Indies won the very first meeting between the two sides back in 2009, which shows they can beat England on the right day.

ENG-W vs WI-W Toss Prediction

Every match at Lord’s in this tournament has gone the way of the chasing side. With the new ball expected to swing under lights, the toss winner today will most likely choose to bowl first.

Weather Report

London stays mild on match day, with the temperature near 19°C and only a 15 percent chance of rain. Cloudy skies usually help fast bowlers more in the powerplay, so the openers from both sides could be tested early, and dew is expected to play only a small role later in the innings.

ENG-W vs WI-W Predicted Playing XI

England Women: Amy Jones (wk), Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Sophia Dunkley, Alice Capsey, Heather Knight, Freya Kemp, Dani Gibson, Charlie Dean (c), Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Bell, Linsey Smith

West Indies Women: Hayley Matthews (c), Qiana Joseph, Shemaine Campbelle (wk), Stafanie Taylor, Deandra Dottin, Chinelle Henry, Jahzara Claxton, Aaliyah Alleyne, Afy Fletcher, Karishma Ramharack, Jannillea Glasgow

Hayley Matthews is the player who can flip this match on her own, since she picks up wickets with her off-spin and also gives West Indies a fast start with the bat. Danni Wyatt-Hodge is just as dangerous for England, as she loves pace on the ball and Lord’s gives her exactly that.
