WI-W vs NZ-W Key Players

Deandre Dottin

Deandre Dottin is back. The World Boss makes her way to the World Cup after a shock retirement and West Indies will be very happy to have her back. She is a package which delivers with bat, ball and is very athletic making her a really useful player.

Amelia Kerr

Kerr is a top all-rounder going around. However her record against Australia like many New Zealand legends is something which leaves a lot to wonder. She has the technique on spin-friendly tracks and a performance from her will be the major difference.
