cricket betting jskWest Indies vs England Women 1st T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
West Indies Women will take on England Women at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua. The first game of the five match WT20I series gets underway at 18:00 local time on Sunday 11th December.
This will be West Indies Women’s first WT20I fixture since a five wicket defeat to end their home series against New Zealand Women in early October. After losing all three of the WODIs, West Indies Women will fancy their chances of giving a better account of themselves in this match.
Top order batter and captain Hayley Matthews will be the batter to watch for West Indies. In their last WT20I match, played in Antigua, Matthews hit 56 runs from 54 balls. She was the only player in the line-up to hit double figures and contributed 55% of the runs.
Although West Indies Women were outplayed throughout the WODI series, at least one of their bowlers picked up a three-wicket haul on this pitch in each match. With the batters taking more risks in this format, we expect Chinelle Henry’s pace to be a crucial weapon.
West Indies Women have lost three of their last four WT20Is with the only non-defeat a tie.
The visitors will be full of confidence as they approach the opening game of the WT20I series after winning all three of the WODIs at this venue by at least 100 runs. The England Women’s team have been well funded by the ECB over recent years and the players look a level or two above their West Indian counterparts.
With 18 year old Alice Capsey missing this series after breaking her collarbone in the opening WODI, there will be an opening for a new batter to make a claim for a regular place in the side. Maia Bouchier and Alice Davidson-Richards were added to the squad for this series and we expect Bouchier to play in this game.
As well as England Women’s batters performed during the first part of this tour, it was the consistency of their bowling attack which sealed all three of the victories. Lauren Bell was rested for the final WODI and will be fresh, with good memories of bowling cricket betting jskWest Indies vs England Women 1st T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips on this pitch, ahead of this fixture.

The match will be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua. We expect a par score to be over 135 on this pitch which will offer a good deal of assistance to pace and spin bowlers.
