India Women will face-off against West Indies Women in the decider of the three-match T20I series. The series is currently tied 1-1 and winner will take all in the third match of the series. India started the series with a win but West Indies came back strong with a dominating victory in the second T20I. Neither of India's batting or bowling has been upto the mark in this series. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur missed the second T20I but stand-in captain Smriti Mandhana couldn't change the fate either. The Indian batters struggled against the Carribean bowlers and they were too slow to trouble the menacing Qiana Joseph and Hayley Matthews. The players will have to individually step up and help their captain if India has to win the series. IND-W vs WI-W 2nd T20I 2024: Hayley Matthews Guides West Indies Women to Nine-Wicket Win Over India Women.

West Indies on the other hand, will enter the Test match far more confident. Captain Hayley Matthews has been destructive in the previous game and so was opener Qiana Joseph in both games. The likes of Deandra Dottin fullfilled their contribution with the ball and didn't need to arrive with the bat. It was a comprehensive victory for the Caribbeans and the bowling of India didn't look like it can trouble them if conditions favour. The toss will end up being a key factor with conditions getting easier during the chase.
