Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Match 20, ENG-W vs WI-W Match Preview: Head to Head records, pitch report and more

Having won all three games of the ongoing Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 so far, England are currently sitting at the top of the points table. However, their place in the semi-finals is not yet guaranteed. Up next, the Heather Knight-led side will challenge the West Indies, who are also in contention for the semis.

West Indies have won two of their three matchesso far  and a win will seal their qualifification for the next round. It can also help them finish at the top of the table. In that case, England will finish at the second spot or will be ruled out of the tournament, depending on their net run rate (NRR). Currently, England have an NRR of +1.716, while the second-placed South Africa have +1.382. 

Dani Wyatt has been fantastic for the team in the tournament. She has played three games, scoring 135 runs at a strike rate of 123.85. Among bowlers, Sophie Ecclestone has been in decent nick but she would hope to step up her game in the business end of the tournament. 

For West Indies, it has been a complete team effort so far. The team would expect their captain Hayley Matthews to step up as their chances of winning increase significantly whenever that happens.

Pitch Report

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium pitch has assisted batters well. However, the pacers have enjoyed bowling under the lights. Dew will play its part and batting second will be better. Anything over 150 runs can be decisive.
