NZ-W vs WI-W: New Zealand Women will take on West Indies Women in the 1st match of the Women’s ODI World Cup 2022 on 4th March at the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui.
The hosts New Zealand start one of the favorites to clinch the Women’s ODI World Cup 2022 title. Led by Sophie Devine, they have a very balanced squad with multiple all-rounders in the lineup. They are coming into this match on the back of a comprehensive nine-wicket win over Australia Women in the warm-up match where they chased down a total of 322 runs in just 43.1 overs.
On the other hand, West Indies Women didn’t have a great run in the warm-up matches as they lost both of their games. After losing by 90 runs against Australia Women, they suffered an 81-run defeat against India Women in their last warm-up game. Skipper Stafanie Taylor will now have the responsibility to keep the intensity high within the camp and turn things around in the mega-event.
