West Indies Women will face Australia Women in the first T20I of the three-match series on March 20 at Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent. Both teams will be eager to start the series with a win after disappointing results in their previous assignments.
West Indies Women had a tough outing in their last T20I series against Sri Lanka. After the opening game was washed out, they lost the next two matches and suffered a series defeat at home. Led by Hayley Matthews, the team will now look to bounce back and improve their performance. With most of the same squad, the hosts will aim to prepare well for upcoming tournaments and put up a stronger display against a tough opponent.
Australia Women also come into this series after a rare series loss, having been beaten by India 2-1 in their previous T20I series. Although the top-order batsmen of the team were outstanding, their bowling attack lacked in consistency. Sophie Molineux makes a comeback to the squad, strengthening their line-up. Australia will look to regroup quickly and show their strength in this series.

WI-W vs AUS-W: Pitch Report
The surface at Kingstown is fairly even and provides decent bounce and carry. Bowlers get a bit of assistance from the surface early on in the game. As the match goes on, batting becomes easier, especially in the middle overs, allowing players to play their shots freely. The outfield is quick, so well-timed shots often reach the boundary. A typical first-innings score here is around 145 to 160 runs.
