IND-W vs WI-W weather update: Newlands, Cape Town weather report for Women's T20 World Cup Match 9

A full 40 overs of action is expected in Cape Town as the weather forecast for the ninth ICC Women's T20 World Cup match between India Women (IND-W) and West Indies (WI-W) has no chance of rain at all. The Group B fixture is scheduled to be played at Newlands on Wednesday, February 15.

India began their World Cup campaign with a thumping seven-wicket victory over arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday, February 12. While the bowlers gave away some easy runs at the death, enabling the Women in Green to post 149 runs, Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh played counterattacking knocks to take the team home with one over to spare.

As India look to extend their winning momentum, they have received a boost in the form of the returning Smriti Mandhana. The southpaw will slot in at the top of the order in place of Yastika Bhatia.

West Indies, on the other hand, suffered a humiliating defeat in their tournament opener against title contenders England. They failed to defend 135 runs as Heather Knight and Co. chased down the target within 15 overs. West Indies could be in for another tough outing against a confident Indian side.
