Australia Women are set to take on West Indies Women in the opening game of a three-match T20I series at the North Sydney Oval on Sunday (October 1).
The Australian Women’s cricket squad heads into this series fresh off a T20I series loss to England, despite their successful retention of the Ashes in 2023. On the other hand, the West Indies Women’s cricket team is basking in a remarkable run of success. They recently clinched a commanding 3-0 series victory against a depleted Ireland Women’s team earlier this year under the astute leadership of Hayley Matthews.
Both Australia and West Indies will look to start their campaign on a high note by winning the opening clash.
