The West Indies Women are hot in form after they thrashed the Bangladesh women in the first match of the T20I series. Nevertheless, the 2nd T20I is ready to be staged at Warner Park in Basseterre on January 30. The match is set to commence at 3:30 AM IST.
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, 2nd T20I Preview
West Indies Women will enter the second T20I high on confidence after a dominant eight-wicket win in the series opener. Led by Hayley Matthews, the hosts showcased an all-round performance, with their bowlers restricting Bangladesh Women to 144/3 before chasing it down comfortably. Matthews' unbeaten 60 and Deandra Dottin’s explosive 21-ball fifty were the highlights of their batting display. With momentum on their side, the Windies will look to seal the series in the upcoming match, relying on their in-form top order and disciplined bowling attack.
Bangladesh Women will aim to bounce back and level the series after failing to defend a competitive total in the first T20I. Despite a strong 82-run stand between Sharmin Akhter and skipper Nigar Sultana, their bowling unit struggled to contain the West Indian batters. Fahima Khatun was the lone wicket-taker, and the team will need a sharper bowling effort to challenge the hosts. With their batting showing promise, the visitors will be eager to improve their bowling execution and force a series decider in the third T20I.

Pitch Report | Sporting Wicket |
Weather: According to AccuWeather, the weather is expected to be favourable, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 25°C. Humidity levels will be high at 85%, with a dew point of 23°C, which could impact bowling conditions, especially for spinners. With only a 25% chance of precipitation and no expected rainfall, the match is unlikely to face any weather-related interruptions.
Pitch Report: The surface at Warner Park is usually slow, favouring bowlers. However, the recent match saw batters dominating. 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 and chase down smaller targets.
Warner Park Pitch – Record of Chasing Teams
The pitch at Warner Park has been very advantageous for teams that are chasing, as those bowling first tend to dominate and restrict their opponents to lower totals in the first half of the game. Given the significance of the pitch, and the result of the last outing, the toss-winning captain would like to bowl first.
