Fresh off clinching the ODI series 2-1, the West Indies Women now gear up for a thrilling T20I showdown against Bangladesh Women, kicking off with the opening match at Warner Park, Basseterre, on January 28. The high-octane clash is slated for a 3:30 AM IST start, promising a fiery contest as both teams eye for early dominance in the series.

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.

WI-W vs BD-W, 1st T20I Preview

The West Indies Women enter the T20I series against Bangladesh with momentum, fresh off their 2-1 ODI series triumph and a dominant T20I head-to-head record. Having comfortably beaten Bangladesh in their last encounter, an eight-wicket rout at the 2024 T20 World Cup, the Caribbean side, powered by stars like Hayley Matthews, Deandra Dottin, and Afy Fletcher, will aim to extend their dominance. With firepower across batting and bowling, they remain favourites to clinch the T20I series.

Bangladesh Women, yet to secure a T20I win against the Windies, face an uphill battle but carry renewed resolve. Skipper Nigar Sultana’s leadership, combined with Nahida Akter’s spin and Shorna Akter’s all-round flair, could spark an upset. Their World Cup defeat still lingers, but the Tigers will bank on fresh strategies and fearless cricket to rewrite history in the series opener.

WI-W vs BD-W, 1st T20I Weather And Pitch Report

Weather: According to AccuWeather, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy, with a temperature of 25°C. Humidity levels will be at 79%, with a dew point of 22°C, potentially making the outfield a bit damp as the evening progresses. With a very low probability of precipitation at just 2% and no expected rainfall, the match is unlikely to face any interruptions.

Pitch Report: The surface at Warner Park is currently slow, favouring bowlers due to residual moisture and grass. Batters will need patience as pitch grip may disrupt timing. Spinners are likely to dominate in the middle overs with increased turn and bounce. Hence, the toss-winning captain would prefer to bowl first to exploit the early conditions.

Warner Park Pitch – Record of Chasing Teams

The Warner Park pitch has been heaven for chasing teams with teams bowling first dominating and restricting the opponent to a lower total in the first half. With the pitch playing an important role, the toss-winning captain would like to choose to bowl first.
