West Indies Women vs Bangladesh Women, 2nd T20I: Match Prediction – Who will win today's match between WI-W vs BAN-W?
MATCH: West Indies Women vs Bangladesh Women
DATE: January 30,Thursday
TIME: 3:30 AM (IST)
VENUE: Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts
TOURNAMENT: 2nd T20I 2025
West Indies Women (WI-W) and Bangladesh Women (BAN-W) are all set to clash against each other in the second T20I of the three-match series at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts on Thursday, January 30 (India time).
Bangladesh, after the recent ODI series defeat, didn’t have the start they would have liked in the T20I series. While skipper Nigar Sultana (53*) and Sharmin Akhter (37) managed to put runs on the board after electing to bat first, but it wasn’t enough against a strong Windies side.
Bangladesh’s bowling woes were evident in the first game, as they failed to pick regular wickets. Skipper Hayley Matthews (60*) and opener Qiana Joseph (29), provided a solid start, as the side managed to go past the fifty-run mark within the powerplay. Later, Matthews partnered up with Deandra Dottin (51*) to finish the proceedings and help the side get a 1-0 lead in the series.
Warner Park Pitch Report
Warner Park has hosted 21 Women’s T20s so far. 11 games have been won by teams batting first and eight by chasing teams. Teams will want to make the most of the powerplay when they are batting. The pitch offers bounce initially that is also enjoyable for the batters. However, the bowlers also have their say as the pitch gets favorable for the spinners.
WI-W vs BAN-W Probable Playing XIs:
West Indies Women (WI-W):
Qiana Joseph, Hayley Matthews(c), Shemaine Campbelle(w), Deandra Dottin, Nerissa Crafton, Jannillea Glasgow, Shabika Gajnabi, Zaida James, Cherry Ann Fraser, Afy Fletcher, Karishma Ramharack
Bangladesh Women (BAN-W):
Dilara Akter(w), Sobhana Mostary, Sharmin Akhter, Nigar Sultana(c), Shorna Akter, Taj Nehar, Rabeya Khan, Lata Mondal, Fariha Trisna, Fahima Khatun, Sultana Khatun
Probable Top Performers from WI-W vs BAN-W
Probable Best Batter: Hayley Matthews
Hayley Matthews’ impressive form continued as she once again took the hosts to victory with her batting performance. In the opener, her unbeaten innings of 60 off 54 deliveries, laced with seven boundaries, saw her forming a valuable stand with Deandra Dottin. Interestingly, this was Matthews’ second fifty in the last four T20Is. Her recent match-winning knock will surely boost her confidence and she will hope to bat the same way in the upcoming game.
Probable Best Bowler: Fahima Khatun
Bangladesh’s spinner Fahima Khatun could be among the pick of the bowlers in the second T20I against West Indies. In the last game, despite her team suffering a defeat, Khatun bagged two wickets in her quota of three overs and leaked just 15 runs. The 32-year-old will once again look to exploit the conditions to her benefit in the next game.
