TOURNAMENT: 1st T20I 2025
West Indies (WI) and Bangladesh (BAN) square off in the first T20I of the three-match series at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts on Tuesday, January 28 (India time).
West Indies women managed to win the three-match ODI series by a 2-1 margin against Bangladesh. Now, the two teams will battle it out in the shortest format. Hayley Matthews and Co. played a three-match T20I series against India in December 2024 in Navi Mumbai. They lost the series 1-2.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh had a forgettable outing in their most recent T20I series. They lost three games at home against Ireland. Nigar Sultana will have to inspire her troops after the disappointing result. However, beating the West Indies at home will not be easy. The tourists will have to take their chances and back themselves at all times.

Probable Top Performers from WI-W vs BAN-W
Probable Best Batter: Hayley Matthews
Hayley Matthews could be the batter to watch out for on Tuesday. The West Indies captain was the highest run-getter in the ODI series. If she gets going, Bangladesh bowlers will have a tough time keeping her quiet at the crease.
Probable Best Bowler: Karishma Ramharack
Karishma Ramharack caused quite a few problems for the Bangladesh batters in the ODI series as she finished as the leading wicket-taker. In three games, she bagged eight wickets at 10.25. It will be interesting to see how Matthews uses the off-spinner’s four overs.
