Qualification to the Semi-finals of the 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is on the line for both England and the West Indies as they face off in the final Group B game. 

Ahead of the game, here are our preview and predictions.

Women’s T20 WC 2024 Match 20: England vs West Indies I 21:30 IST, October 15

The Group B toppers have been impressive so far, with both their batters and bowlers in fine form. They thrashed neighbours Scotland by ten wickets in their last game.

England opener Danni Wyatt-Hodge has been in fine form, giving her side solid starts every game. Star spinner Sophie Ecclestone has been among the wickets, while all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt has also performed with both bat and ball; things could hardly get any better for the Lionesses right now.

On the other hand, the West Indies have had their struggles but still have a shot at the knockouts. However, they don’t just need to beat England; they need to do it with a big margin. They did win their last match comfortably against Bangladesh, but South Africa also beating Scotland by a huge margin means the Proteas have a higher net run rate, leaving the Windies with a mighty task on their hands. 

England are the on-paper favourites for this encounter, though it’s important to keep in mind that a shock huge defeat against the West Indies will knock them out and see South Africa qualify to the semis alongside the side from the Caribbean.

Fantasy XI

Stephanie Taylor, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Alice Capsey, Heather Knight (c), Hayley Matthews, Sophia Dunkley, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amy Jones (wk), Charlie Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Bell

Venue: Dubai 
Winners Prediction: England
