Pre-Match Analysis:

West Indies Women selectors have shown faith in the side that won the ODI series and are ready to go with an unchanged squad for the T20Is. It’s been a while since they featured in the shortest format and ready to take their first assignment after ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. Hayley Matthews and Shemaine Campbelle will remain as their captain and vice captains respectively. The squad also features upcoming West Indies U-19 cricketers Djenaba Joseph, Ashmini Munisar, and Zaida James. The Maroon Warriors are currently ranked 6th in the ICC Women’s T20I Rankings.

Ireland Women had a disappointing T20 World Cup campaign as they got knocked out without winning a game. They have a lot of positives as well heading into the T20Is as they clinched away bilateral series win over Pakistan and Scotland by 2-1 and 2-0 respectively last year. Laura Delany will continue to serve as the skipper for this series and the rest of the squad remains the same from the ODIs. They are 10th in the ICC Women’s T20I Rankings.
