Women’s T20 World Cup 2024

Bangladesh women will lock horns against the West Indies women in the 13th match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. The match will be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on 10th October 2024 at 7:30 PM IST.

Bangladesh women are in 4th position in Group B. They’ve played two games with one win. They won their first game against Scotland by 16 runs and then lost the last game by 21 runs against England. Bowling is Bangladesh women’s strength but their batters generally fail to assist them. They’ll have to be at their best with the bat if they are to win this match.

On the other hand, West Indies women are in 3rd position in Group B with one win and a loss after two games. Their net run rate is better than Bangladesh’s. 

They lost their first game against South Africa by 10 wickets and won the last one by 6 wickets against Scotland women. Deandra Dottin’s return is a big boost for them with the bat and she, alongside Hayley Matthews, is the key batter for them. They have a good spin attack and the pacers also did well in the last game.

BD-W vs WI-W: Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at Sharjah is expected to be on the slower side and bowlers, especially spinners will get more assistance off the deck. Batters will have to work hard for their runs. The average first innings score here in women’s T20I is 120 runs. Teams will prefer chasing but batting first will be a good option too. 

It will be a clear day with no chance of rain. The temperature will hover around 33-34 degrees Celsius and humidity will be around 50-60% during the game.

Grand League Team for BD-W vs WI-W Dream11 Prediction

Small League Team for BD-W vs WI-W Dream11 Prediction

BD-W vs WI-W Dream11 Prediction:

West Indies Women will start as the favourites to win this game. They have more firepower in their batting and a good bowling attack with quality spinners who can restrict Bangladesh’s batters. It will be a great contest if Bangladesh can do well with the bat as they have better spinners in their ranks who can trouble the West Indian batters.
