West Indies women's all-rounder and star player Hayley Matthews will captain the side. The likes of Deandra Dottin, Kyshona Knight, Kycia Knight, Shamilia Connell and Shakera Selman are some well-known names in the side.
Pakistan Women, on the other hand, recently participated in the T20I Tri-series that included Ireland Women and Australian Women. They managed to win just one game with three washed-out fixtures.
Led by Bismah Maroof, Pakistan Women have had success in recent past against Ireland Women and Sri Lanka Women. They qualified directly for the 2022 Commonwealth Games based on their ICC rankings.
Pakistan Women have a good mix of experienced and young players on their side. The likes of Maroof, Nida Dar, Kainat Imtiaz, Fatima Sana and Diana Baig will be in limelight for the Women in Green.
