After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, England Women had a dream start to the game, with Kate Cross and Emily Arlott running through the Windies top order. Cross got rid of Realanna Grimmond for a duck while Arlott got the prized breakthroughs of Zaida James and Stafanie Taylor, who departed for single-digit scores. 

However, just when Shemaine Campbelle started to stabilise the innings with Qiana Joseph, rain arrived at the venue, forcing the match officials to stop the proceedings.
