New Delhi: Match 13 of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup will see the Bangladesh Women’s team take on the 2016 T20 World Cup Champions, the West Indies cricket team. Talking about the journey of both teams, the Tigresses defeated the World Cup debutants, Scotland in the first match of the T20 World Cup 2024. However, the Bangladeshi team was defeated by the English team in their second match (by 21 runs)
Meanwhile, things don’t look good for the West Indies Women’s team who have encountered 2 heavy defeats in 3 matches. While in the first match, the Australian team thrashed the Windies by 35 runs; the Proteas defeated the Windies by 10 wickets to hand a crushing defeat in the next game. Although the Windies have done themselves a favour by winning the game against Scotland, the former have to pull up their socks to make a meaningful impact in the tournament.
Nevertheless, considering their depth in both batting and bowling, West Indies Women will be the favourites to win this match. Their experience in high-pressure situations will play a crucial role, especially as they look to establish dominance in the group. However, Bangladesh Women are known for their ability to spring surprises, and if they can secure early breakthroughs and maximize their scoring opportunities, they could challenge the West Indies effectively.
