ICC Women's World Cup Warm Up Match 2022, Australia Women vs West Indies Women: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report and Weather Forecast
The second warm-up match of ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 sees Australia Women take on West Indies Women at Lincoln Green in Lincoln, New Zealand.
Australia Women recently faced England in the 2022 Ashes series. It was a comprehensive performance from them as they stayed unbeaten throughout the Ashes to retain the urn. The Aussies finished the Ashes series by clean-sweeping the English side in the ODI series and will be brimming with confidence coming into the World Cup.
Meg Lanning will continue to lead the Australian side. They have plenty of experience on their side and are certainly a team to watch out for in the Women’s World Cup 2022. The Aussies will surely start as favorites and will be eager to begin their preparations on a positive note.
West Indies Women, meanwhile, have been struggling a bit in recent times. They lost 1-2 to South Africa Women in an ODI series in South Africa earlier this month. The Caribbeans did win the second game in a Super Over but failed to carry the winning momentum forward as they lost their next two games. They will be hoping to bounce back in the upcoming few weeks.
Stafanie Taylor has been handed the responsibility of leading the side. The likes of Deandra Dottin, Anisa Mohammed and Hayley Matthews will be looking to use their experience to contribute to the team’s success.
