Hello and welcome to the T20I series decider between India Women and West Indies Women at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. The series has been a rollercoaster so far with India striking first to seize the early advantage only for Hayley Matthews and her spirited team to bounce back in style.
For the hosts Smriti Mandhana has been the linchpin of the batting lineup delivering back-to-back fifties. While Jemimah Rodrigues shone in the series opener the rest of the batting unit has yet to step up. India will be hoping for the return of skipper Harmanpreet Kaur who missed the previous game due to a knee niggle.
The bowling unit struggled to respond strongly when put under the pump in the last game and a collective improvement will be key to their chances in this crucial encounter. As for the West Indies their emphatic win in the second T20I ended a streak of nine consecutive losses against India in this format.
The top order led by Hayley Matthews displayed impressive intent comfortably chasing down the target and giving the team a much-needed confidence boost. On the bowling front it was Deandra Dottin who stood tall in keeping the hosts in check. Fielding has been an issue for both sides particularly for the visitors and they will need to tighten up in that department. Buckle up this promises to be a cracker of a contest.
The hosts have been grappling with the absence of regular captain Harmanpreet Kaur who missed the previous match due to injury. Her availability for the decider remains uncertain. While Smriti Mandhana and Richa Ghosh showed promising form with the bat in the last game the rest of India's batting lineup struggled to make an impact.
The bowling department's lackluster performance was particularly concerning as they failed to contain the West Indies batters effectively. Smriti Mandhana in particular has led from the front and has notched up back-to-back fifties to her name and she also happens to be the only player across both sides to have crossed the triple figures in the series. While Jemimah Rodrigues has provided valuable support the team needs more players to rise to the occasion.
The management has experimented with the lineup giving opportunities to newcomers Uma Chetry as opener and introducing Raghvi Bist to international cricket. However India's bowling has emerged as a significant concern delivering underwhelming performances in both matches. Iqbal Sports Live Commentary.
The bowling attack remains largely dependent on Matthews and Dottin and the others need to gear up to support the two stalwarts. Though Chinelle Henry and Afy Fletcher have displayed flashes of good performances they would be keen to keep up with the consistency. Will West Indies Women take the series or can hosts India Women mount a comeback? It’s going to be a humdinger of a contest folks! Km Punk Live. Crictalks Live.
