NZ women vs WI women Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing XI, Pitch Report, & Injury Updates

Preview:

Hosts New Zealand will take on West Indies in the 1^st match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 on Friday. New Zealand last time won the championship back in 2000 when they beat Australia in the finals by 4 runs. It’s been 22 years since they have won and will look to end the title drought this year. They are in excellent form at the moment having won their previous ODI series against India by 4-1. Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr are the star players in the line-up.

West Indies Women on the other hand are yet to win a World Cup. Reaching the finals of the 2013 World Cup was their performance to date. They didn’t have the greatest of warm-up matches as they lost to Australia Women and India Women badly. Having said all this, they have got plenty of potential players with the likes of Stafanie Taylor, Deandra Dottin, and Hayley Matthews who can win matches.
