Australia will be facing the West Indies in Match 14 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on March 15. While one team is undefeated and going strong in the tournament, the other suffered a demoralizing defeat just when they looked dominant in the first two games. The Aussies have won all their three games so far against the defending champions England, Pakistan, and hosts New Zealand respectively.
The West Indies, on the other hand, did get the better of the Kiwis and England in their opening two fixtures before suffering a humiliating 155-run defeat against India last weekend. They would now be hoping to rediscover their rhythm and more importantly snap Australia’s unbeaten run in this competition and also get back to winning ways in the process.

Pitch Report:
The teams chasing targets have struggled on most occasions in the ongoing Women’s World Cup. While the wicket is somewhat tricky in the second innings, the batters can get their sides past the finish line provided they are well set at the crease and go on to play impactful knocks.
Out of the 13 matches in this competition so far, 10 have been won by the teams batting first. Therefore, the captain that calls it right at the toss would definitely look to bat first and a total in excess of 250 would be too much for the opposition team.

Probable Top Performers
Probable best batter: Hayley Matthews
Hayley Matthews is currently the top run-getter in the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 having amassed 207 runs from three matches averaging 69 including a century and two 40+ scores. She had scored a match-winning 119 against New Zealand in the curtain-raiser and the Australians would be looking to get rid of her at the earliest as she can play a long innings once she gets set. The Windies would be hoping Matthews to come out all guns blazing in this crucial encounter.
Probable best bowler: Anisa Mohammed
Anisa Mohammed has been one of the standout performers with the ball in hand in this tournament having registered six scalps from three outings so far. In fact, she has been the most consistent bowler for the West Indies having picked up two wickets in each match of this mega event. The offie will once again be expected to star with the ball especially in the middle overs as the Caribbeans desperately look to rediscover their lost mojo in the ongoing competition.
