West Indies Women (WI-W) will lock horns with New Zealand Women (NZ-W) in the first ODI of the New Zealand Women's tour of West Indies 2022 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Monday, September 19. Ahead of the match, here's all you need to know about the WI-W vs NZ-W Dream11 Fantasy prediction, today's playing 11s and the pitch report for the 1st ODI.
The last time the hosts West Indies Women played an ODI match was back in March earlier this year. On that occasion, they defeated New Zealand by a narrow margin of three runs. Following the retirement of Deandra Dottin, star all-rounder Hayley Matthews has been appointed as the new captain and she will be leading the side here against the White Ferns here.
New Zealand Women failed to make much of an impression during the 2022 ODI World Cup held back in March and they haven’t played in the 50-over format since then. Sophie Devine is leading a strong squad on the tour of the Caribbean and the White Ferns have won four of their last five ODI matches against West Indies and will be the favorites here as well.
The first ODI between the two sides got rescheduled from September 16 to September 19 after tropical storm Fiona forced the organizers to postpone the game because of the safety of the players.
