ICC Women’s World Cup 2022: Match 10, WI-W vs IND-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

Team India will fight for redemption as they take on West Indies in Match 10 of the Women’s World Cup 2022. The encounter takes place at the Seddon Park in Hamilton on Saturday (March 12). Having thrashed arch-rivals Pakistan by 107 runs in their opening fixture, Mithali Raj’s team made a delightful start to their campaign. However, India then suffered a 62-run defeat against New Zealand.

On the other hand, West Indies have made a remarkable start to their campaign, having defeated strong teams like England and New Zealand in the first couple of fixtures. Hence, the Women in Maroon will take the field as favourites and would like to record their third win on the trot. As far as India are concerned, they will fight to avoid the same.

Pitch Report: 

The ongoing Women’s World Cup has seen teams having a hard time in defending totals. A lot of big scores haven’t been witnessed with the tracks having substantial assistance for bowlers. At the same time, however, it has been difficult to chase down scores more than 250 so far in the tournament.

West Indies -W vs India -W Head to Head

Overall games – 25, West Indies – 5, India – 20

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter: Hayley Matthews

Having scored a match-winning 119 in the opening fixture against New Zealand, the West Indies opener would be high on confidence and won’t mind replicating her heroics again. Matthews can counter the swing with the new ball and her ability to play marathon knocks makes him even more effective. Hence, Indian bowlers must come up with a précised plan against her.

Probable best bowler: Rajeshwari Gayakwad

Left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad has been a nemesis for batters in the competition so far and India would rely on her. Gayakwad can choke the run-flow in the middle-overs alongside chipping in with regular wickets. So far, the 30-year-old has scalped six wickets in two games and won’t mind enhancing her tally even further.
