England Women vs Windies Women 2019, 3rd T20I: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Windies Women finally showed some fighting spirit on their tour of England but it wasn’t enough for them to win the game. During the 2nd T20I, a big knock from Danielle Wyatt helped England Women finish on 180. Windies showed some intent with the bat which went missing in the ODI series. They were eventually restricted to 138/9. Anya Shrubsole would get her first taste of T20I captaincy as Heather Knight has been ruled out of the final T20I due to a hamstring injury.

The pacer took the charge during the 2nd T20I when Knight didn’t take the field. In her 133-match International career, Shrubsole led England only once so far – During an ODI in India last year which England lost by 1-wicket margin while Anya had poor time with the ball. She would be hoping for a better result this time around that could extend their 7-match T20I winning streak and 14 successive wins across all formats of International cricket.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The recent most game hosted by the County Ground in Derby was between the hosts and touring Australia A team. Matthew Wade created havoc to chase down the target of 280+ runs. This venue has hosted only one Women’s T20 game since 2010. The Kia Super League game played here in 2017 witnessed Suzie Bates scoring a 72-ball 115. Yet another high-scoring game can be expected at this venue.
