CHENNAI : Their campaign off to a positive start after a hard-fought win over Pakistan, West Indies will look to continue the good run in the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 when they take on a struggling Bangladesh in a Group B match here tomorrow.
West Indies rallied to eke out a narrow four-run win over Pakistan in their World T20 opener and they would to look produce a better performance against Bangladesh, who are smarting from consecutive losses against India and England.
On paper, West Indies are the hot favourites against minnows Bangladesh, who qualified for this World T20 like Ireland in the tournament at Thailand last year. However, the Caribbean side has a few issues to sort out.
Skipper Stafanie Taylor was only bright spot in West Indies’ batting during their last match against Pakistan as they could muster only 103-8 and they will have to address their batting woes ahead of the bigger clashes — England (March 24 at Dharamsala) and India (March 27 at Mohali) — which awaits them in the tournament.
The Caribbean side boast off as a balanced side with experience and youth. Captain Stafanie Taylor has been the highest run-getter for them for the last five years and had also become the first West Indian woman to surpass the 2000 mark in this format. (AGENCIES)
