India are one of the favourites to progress in the top-two of this group and started with a facile win over Pakistan. West Indies fizzled out against England in their opening match and may find stepping up to India’s challenge a bit tougher. The odds market is heavily skewed in favour of India with not much value on their win. I am backing the individual player market in this with Jemimah Rodrigues and Hayley Matthews offering value in being backed as their team’s best batters.

Head to Head

India and West Indies have faced each other 20 times in Women’s T20Is with India winning 12 and losing eight. The recent history is more in favour of the Indian side with seven wins in a row.

In the T20I World Cup, these sides have met twice so far with one win each. The recent tri-series in South Africa saw India defeat West Indies by eight-wickets and 56-runs in the two matches.

India are 2nd in Group B of the tournament with two points from one match. With a positive run-rate of 0.497, India have made a steady start to the tournament.

The Women in Blue chased down 150 in the first match played at this same venue with Jemimah Rodrigues top-scoring with an unbeaten 53.

The youngster Richa Ghosh continued from her Under-19 World Cup exploits in this country with a stunning 31 off just 20 balls to lead India over the line.

Regular captain had a shoulder injury before the start of tournament but recovered in time to play that match. Smrithi Mandhana missed out due to a fractured finger but should be ready to play in this match.

West Indies Women Form

West Indies are bottom at 5th with no points and a negative run rate of 2.767. Another loss will shut down their chances of qualification for the semi-finals.

Against England in Paarl, West Indies struggled enroute 135 that needed their captain Hayley Matthews top-score with 42. Chinelle Henry took a couple of wickets in the chase, but that was never in doubt as England won in 14.3 overs.

With Deandra Dottin now retired from international scene, there is very little from the West Indies women with a lot riding on Matthews and Shermaine Campbell.

West Indies have not many injury concerns but may look to shuffle the pack to pack a bit more punch with the bat.

Verdict

India Women v West Indies Women

India Women and West Indies Women faced each other recently in the lead up to this tournament in the tri-series also involving South Africa. India were dominant in those matches and there is no reason to believe why that can’t be repeated.

There isn’t much value in backing India’s win over West Indies as the odds are very low. I am putting money in the individual player market with Jemimah Rodrigues and Hayley Matthews commanding wagers.
