Match number three of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup has already started with the South African women's team winning the toss and opting to bowl.
Currently, the West Indies team has taken 32 runs after seven overs and they have already lost three wickets which I would definitely not call a good start. Their current run rate is only around 4.6. However, if the West Indies women's team can play as well as the West Indies men's team towards the end, they might score a good score. Otherwise looking at their situation today I think the South African women's team will win this match.
In the warm up matches, we did not see a good performance from the South African women's team. Moreover, West Indies women's team is very strong in T20 format. So I considered the West Indies team as favourites. But West Indies could not start their innings well. West Indies Women's team will not be able to provide a big target today.
At the end of 15 overs, the West Indies women's team collected only 83 runs. The players of West Indies could not collect 5 runs in every over. Moreover, West Indies have already lost 5 wickets. Apart from Stefanie Taylor, there is no more experienced batsman at the crease. Stefanie Taylor remains unbeaten with 25 runs from 25 balls.
The pitch is not batting friendly. Had West Indies women set a target around 140, they could have won. But now it seems that the team will not be able to collect even 120 runs. The chances of West Indies winning are very low at the moment.
