India Women vs West Indies Women Match Prediction - Who will win today’s 3rd T20I match between IND-W vs WI-W?

India Women (IND-W) and West Indies Women (WI-W) lock horns in the decisive third T20I at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai, on Thursday, December 19.

India won the first T20I by a comprehensive margin of 49 runs after scoring a daunting 195/4 in their 20 overs on the back of scintillating half-centuries from Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues. However, in the second game, the home side was restricted to 159/9 in their 20 overs as a result of some excellent bowling from the West Indies.

The West Indies captain Hayley Matthews took confidence from the two wickets she picked up in the first innings. Matthews' unbeaten 85 off 47 balls helped the Caribbean side restore parity in the series. The right-handed batter has slammed 17 boundaries in the series.

With the series being on the line, both teams will want to put their best foot forward and take the coveted silverware.
