SLW vs WIW Team Previews
Sri Lanka Women
Chamari Athapaththu was at it again as she set up a Sri Lankan win in the first T20I game against West Indies Women. This time, though, it was with the ball, as she collected a four-fer, and together with Priyadharshini, who picked up a three-wicket haul, she reduced the West Indies batting charge to 134 runs from twenty overs for the loss of eight wickets. This was a career-best bowling performance from Chamari Athapaththu. The duo ensured that the Sri Lankan team would register a comfortable win, their first against this opposition since 2015.
The Sri Lankan batting reply was efficient, and they won the game with four wickets and eight legal deliveries to spare. Hayley Matthews managed to get rid of Chamari Athapaththu early in the third over in the Sri Lankan innings. But the other Sri Lankan batters, such as Harshitha Samarawickrama and Vishmi Gunaratne, did not lose their nerve. These two did not allow the pressure to build up after the early loss of Athapaththu. Gunaratne was the main contributor to a 46-run stand for the second wicket.

West Indies Women
After being asked to bat, the West Indies team had to face an early injury scare with Stefanie Taylor. Taylor injured a leg when she returned to crease in the 3rd over. She had to be taken off with a stretcher. She was brave enough to return to the crease in the seventh over when Athapaththu picked up Quina Joseph's wicket. The Sri Lankan spinners never allowed the West Indies batters to get away to a quick scoring spell. The top score for West Indies was the run-a-ball thirty from the skipper Hayley Matthews.
Luckily, an excellent 33-run partnership between Alleyne and Fletcher between West Indies Women happened in 23 balls, allowing them to develop a decent target. Alleyne scored 26 runs from 22 balls, while Fletcher scored 14 from 11. The Caribbean women scored 35 runs in their last four overs to set a defendable score. Afy Fletcher was the best bowler on the scene with two victims for 29 runs. Several other West Indian bowlers were among the wickets, but the jolt they needed to provide to the Sri Lankan batting never came about to secure a win.
West Indies Women Playing 11
Stafanie Taylor, Hayley Matthews, Shemaine Campbelle, Chedean Nation, Aaliyah Alleyne, Chinelle Henry, Afy Fletcher, Qiana Joseph, Cherry Ann Fraser, Karishma Ramharack, Shamilia Connell.

SLW vs WIW Betting Tips
West Indies Women have an excellent record against Sri Lankan Women in this format. But they have got into a losing habit and have been unable to stage a comeback in the T20I series either. The presence of Hayley Matthews after the injury score has not been able to get them the elusive first win of the tour. We will bet with Sri Lanka to win this contest.
