India Women vs West Indies Women Prediction: India are going into the game as favourites

India Women will be facing off against West Indies Women in the 9th game of the Women's T20 World Cup held in South Africa. India breezed through in the game against Pakistan in their first game but West Indies lost their first game. Who will win? 

India got off to a great start against Pakistan in their first game of the competition. The team was able to restrict Pakistan women to under 150 runs which they chased down comfortably with seven wickets in hand. India will feel confident that without their star captain Harmanpreet Kaur and a few other important players like Renuka Thakur, Shikha Pandey, and Pooja Vastrakar missed the first game but India still got over the line. Amanjot Kaur and Deepti Sharma were phenomenal in the first game. Smriti Mandhana got out cheaply but overall it was a great team performance. India will be taking a huge confidence boost now the players are fit and ready to join the team for the next game.

West Indies are coming on the back of a defeat against England in the first game. They scored 135 runs in their stipulated 20 overs but England was able to chase down the target easily meaning the Indies campaign started with a defeat. The team started well but did not have middle order and lower middle order to do the heavy lifting. Skipper Hayley Matthews was the top scorer on that day with 42 runs in 32 balls. Chinelle Henry was the pick of the bowlers with her 2-30 in four overs. She will be the pacer to look out for in this game against India. West Indies will be looking to rectify their mistakes and go again in their second game of the competition.

The pitch will be on the slower side as the game progresses. The batters will have fun scoring runs on this pitch. It will be a good idea to bat first on this pitch and the previous two games verify this. We expect India to do well in this game given their recent record. Expect plenty of runs on this pitch.
