India Women (IN-W) and West Indies Women (WI-W) will commence their three-match T20I series at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday, December 15. The match marks the first T20I fixture for both sides since the conclusion of the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup back in October this year.
Ahead of this game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy cricket tips, the pitch report and the best predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.
IN-W vs WI-W 1st T20I Preview
The Indian women’s cricket team suffered humiliating defeats to New Zealand and Australia at the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup a couple of months ago in the UAE. Moreover, the ‘Women in Blue’ also lost to hosts Sri Lanka in the final of the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup in late-July. Under the leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian team will be aiming for some much-needed T20I resurrection on familiar home conditions against West Indies. It is imperative for senior pros like Smriti Mandhana, all-rounder Deepti Sharma, fast bowler Renuka Singh Thakur and captain Kaur herself to rise to the occasion in a bid to topple the visitors.
The West Indies women’s cricket team ravaged Scotland, Bangladesh and England in successive games after the opening defeat to South Africa at the Women’s T20 World Cup. Qualifying for the semifinals as the table-toppers from Group B, Hayley Matthews’ troops were stunned by eventual winners New Zealand. Nonetheless, the West Indies team will be aiming to capitalize on their positive momentum as they target a rare T20I series win away from home. For captain Matthews, Shemaine Campbelle and all-rounder Deandra Dottin will start out as some of the primary in-form batters in the line-up.
