West Indies Women vs Bangladesh Women, 1st T20I: Match Prediction – Who will win today's match between WI-W vs BAN-W?

West Indies Women (WI-W) and Bangladesh Women (BAN-W) square off in the first T20I of the three-match series at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts on Tuesday, January 28 (India time).

West Indies women managed to win the three-match ODI series by a 2-1 margin against Bangladesh. Now, the two teams will battle it out in the shortest format. Hayley Matthews and Co. played a three-match T20I series against India in December 2024 in Navi Mumbai. They lost the series 1-2.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh had a forgettable outing in their most recent T20I series. They lost three games at home against Ireland. Nigar Sultana will have to inspire her troops after the disappointing result. However, beating the West Indies at home will not be easy. The tourists will have to take their chances and back themselves at all times.
