County Ground Pitch Report

It is the first game of the tournament in Bristol, wherethe ground played host to the India Women vs England Women game, which the hosts won by 26 runs. The captain winning the toss will want to bat first as the ground is small and the wicket generally tends to favour the side batting first. Overcast conditions could give the seam bowlers some purchase, but once the ball gets old, the batters will get good value for their shots. The average first innings score at this venue is between 170 and 185.

WI-W vs SL-W predicted best performers of the match

Best batter – Nilakshika Silva

Veteran Sri Lankan batter scored 54 not out in the game against New Zealand to earn her side a massive win. 36-year-old has years of experience and has scored over 1300 runs with the bat in the 116 T20I games she has played. Silva is an able batter against the seamers and particularly dangerous against the spin bowlers.

Best bowler – Aaliyah Alleyne

West Indian seamer Aaliyah Alleyne has been one of the top bowlers in this World Cup with seven wickets from two games. The 31-year-old seamer began with figures of 4/27 against the Kiwis and then picked 3/11 from just two overs in the game against Scotland. The West Indian seamer has excellent control with the new ball and can also do damage as a first change and put batters under pressure with her nagging lines and lengths.

The game on Sunday is expected to be an amazing contest between bat and ball as both teams look for a win. With the amount of firepower in their batting and bowling departments, theWest Indies are expected to come out on top in this encounter.
