Australia Women are set to take on West Indies Women in a three-match T20I series commencing on Sunday, October 1. Following the T20I leg, both teams will engage in a riveting three-game ODI series, promising fans an action-packed cricketing extravaganza.
The Australian Women’s cricket team enters this series with the wind at their backs, having recently retained the coveted 2023 Ashes title. However, their T20I campaign against England Women was a tale of twists and turns. While they started on a high note, claiming victory in the first match, they faced a tough challenge in the subsequent encounters. In a closely contested manner, they eventually succumbed to defeat in the remaining two matches.
On the flip side, the West Indies Women’s cricket team is riding high on a wave of success. They secured a resounding 3-0 series triumph against a depleted Ireland Women’s side earlier this year. Under the leadership of Hayley Matthews, the Women in Maroon have displayed impeccable form, recording five consecutive victories, and appear to be in sublime rhythm as they gear up to face the mighty Australian team.
