The 3rd T20I of the bilateral series between Australia Women and West Indies Women is all set to be played at the Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown. West Indies Women have lost the T20I series as Australian Women defeated them in the second game as well. The side will be looking to regroup and work on what went wrong as they have suffered consecutive losses in the series, and that too in home conditions. As West Indies will be looking to save their face and guard their honour in the series finale against the Aussies, here are the top 3 players to watch out for:
Afy Fletcher
Afy Fletcher, the West Indies all-rounder, has been a very experienced player who never fails to contribute to her side. In her T20I career, she has picked up 100 wickets from 100 innings at an economy rate of 6. She has undoubtedly been one of the main bowlers in the side with her bowling ability. In this series, she went wicketless in the first game, but she picked up a wicket in the 2nd game and gave away just 32 runs. She will be a key player in the bowling unit, and she will be looking to play well in the last game of the series.
Deandra Dottin
Deandra Dottin, the West Indies all-rounder, has arguably been one of the most capable players in the West Indies side. In her T20I career, she scored 3083 runs from 140 innings at a decent strike rate, and she picked up 75 wickets from 76 innings at an economy rate of 6. In this series, she picked up a 3-wicket haul in the first game and scored an unbeaten 39 in the 2nd game to support her batting unit. She will be looking forward to putting on a better performance in the series finale to save her team from a whitewash.
Hayley Matthews
Hayley Matthews, the West Indies all-rounder, has found her form back with the bat after a lean patch by her standards. In her T20I career, she has scored 3084 runs from 117 innings at a strike rate of 114, and she has also picked up 115 wickets from 110 innings at an economy rate of 6. In this series, she couldn’t perform well in the first game, but in the second game she scored a scintillating half-century and also picked up a wicket. She could be the match-winner for her side in the series finale to save her side from the jaws of defeat.
