The 2nd match of ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 is scheduled to play between West Indies Women and England Women on Saturday, 11th February 2023 at Boland Park, Paarl.

West Indies Women had recently played a tri-series where they were not good and lost most matches, especially against India. Stafanie Taylor had led West Indies for a long time and now Hayley Matthews is the new leader of West Indies under her leadership, West Indies had won most played matches. She had picked the best combination of all-rounders. West Indies have some best and match-winning players in their squad and will be hoping for the best results. Bowling had been the key strength of the West Indies.

Stafanie Taylor, Afy Fletcher, and Shakera Selman are the leading bowlers of the West Indies. These are world-class bowlers and we are sure that they will give a tough time to the best batters of the different teams. Zaida James was part of under-19 teams that participated in the World Cup and due to her best performance, she had been picked for the national team. She is a good all-rounder and we are sure that she will give her best performance and prove her selection right. She will be helpful to handle the middle batting order and spin bowling unit. DJenaba Joseph is also a good middle-order batter in the squad of West Indies.

England Women won the title of the very first World Cup which was held back in 2009 but after that, they failed to win any title even though they reach the final three times but were beaten in the final matches by different teams. They also reach the semi-final of the previous World Cup where they were beaten by India Women. Heather Knight will be leading the England team. She is a good batter and also has finishing skills. Alice Capsey had made her come back to the national team as she was struggling with injury since the previous year.

Heather Knight and Alice Capsey are the two best batters of the middle order and also have a good record of partnerships in previous tournaments. The batting order of England is overall strong and experienced. Danni Wyatt will open the batting inning of England with Amy Jones or Lauren Winfield-Hill. Kate Cross is also part of the squad of England. Remember that she had not played in the national team since 2019 and we are hoping that she will perform well in this big event of cricket. The bowling unit of England is also strong and is going to lead by Sarah Glenn, Sophie Ecclestone, and Katherine Sciver-Brunt. Remember that Katherine Sciver-Brunt was named as ICC women’s cricketer of 2022.
