ICC Women's CWC 2022 | BAN-W vs WI-W | Match 17, Preview, Prediction, Fantasy XI

In the 17th match of the 2022 Women’s World Cup, Bangladesh Women are squaring off against West Indies Women at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on March 18, 2022.

After their historic first win in the Women’s World Cup and that too in their debut edition, the Bangladesh Women will be high on confidence heading into this encounter. In their previous outing against Pakistan Women, they came on top with a nine-run victory and will be oozing with confidence at the moment. 

Experienced Fargana Hoque (71) and skipper Nigar Sultana (46) added a crucial 96-run stand for the third wicket to propel the team to a competitive score. Later, they weaved a spin web against their opponents at Seddon Park as they defended 235. Fahima Khatun, who was brought into the side for this match took three important scalps, halting the progress of the opposition.

After a couple of cheeky wins early in the competition, the progress of West Indies Women have taken a massive dent by getting annihilated in back-to-back matches. In their latest game, Australia Women made light work of them but Stafanie Taylor finally came good as she was the lone warrior for her side and notched up a fighting fifty to push the score past 130. Although there was nothing much to defend they took the game till the 31st over giving the Aussies a tough fight from the bowling front.

Deandra Dottin, Hayley Matthews and Stafanie Taylor all have performed well while Kycia Knight is yet to make her presence felt. Experienced Anisa Mohammed after being left out of the side in the previous outing will make her comeback. Moving into this game, they will look to take down the underdogs to book a berth in the knockout stages after 9 years.

Meanwhile Bangladesh Women will eye for another upset here as they face the heavyweights from the Caribbean.
