Pitch Report

As seen in the previous game, the pitch has something to offer for both the batters and bowlers. Although the new ball should do a bit for the pacers, the batters should enjoy the carry and bounce off the surface. The spinners will also play a part in the middle overs, with some turn available. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss, with the pitch expected to slow down as the match progresses. 230-240 should be par at this venue, but both teams are more than capable of crossing the 250-run mark with ease.

Today's SA-W vs WI-W Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Kycia Knight: Although Kycia Knight didn't get many runs in the previous ODI, she is a decent player in this format. Apart from her ability against both pace and spin, Knight adds value with her wicketkeeping skills, making her a good addition to your SA-W vs WI-W Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Laura Wolvaardt: Laura Wolvaardt is one of the best batters in the world with her record speaking for itself. The youngster also has some decent experience to fall back on, following her stints in the Hundred and the WBBL. Given her ability to shift gears at will, Wolvaardt is a must-have in your SA-W vs WI-W Dream11 fantasy team.

Allrounder

Hayley Matthews: Hayley Matthews was demoted down the order in the previous game but she remains one of the better batters in the Windies set-up. The star all-rounder is likely to play a big role with both bat and ball, especially with Stefanie Taylor injuring herself in the previous game. With her experience also bound to come into play, she is one to watch out for in this game.

Bowler

Shabnim Ismail: Shabnim Ismail is one of the fastest bowlers in the world, often troubling batters with her ability to swing the ball at a rapid pace. Apart from her bowling ability, Ismail can also pack a punch with the bat, holding her in good stead ahead of the game.
