West Indies has been an arsenal that has produced some swashbuckling and power-hitters in the cricketing world. This statement can be applied to both the men's and women's sides. The Caribbean side has triumphed only once in the 2016 edition, where coincidentally, the Men's side got their second WT20 title, citing their double delight in the game's shortest format.

They are also one of the robust contenders for the tournament, and here's the announced squad of West Indies, its Probable XI & their top three players to check out for in the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup.

Hayley Matthews (Captain), Shemaine Campbelle (Vice-Captain & Wicketkeeper), Stafanie Taylor, Deandra Dottin, Aaliyah Alleyne, Shamilia Connell, Ashmini Munisar, Afy Fletcher, Chinelle Henry, Chedean Nation, Qiana Joseph, Zaida James, Karishma Ramharack, Mandy Mangru, Nerissa Crafton.

Top 3 players to check out from West Indies in the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup:

Hayley Matthews

Hayley Matthews is one of the reliable run-getters for the Women Carribean side. Prominent for her aggressive and swashbuckling batting display, Matthews has been a regular contributor to the sport, whether on the National side or in franchise-based leagues.

She can also be instrumental in providing crucial wickets for her side. Not to forget that she was a part of the 2016 Women's T20 World Cup champions side, where she did the talking with the bat. In her T20I stint, she has made 2339 runs and scalped 99 wickets in 96 matches.

Aaliyah Alleyne

Aaliyah Alleyne's medium-pace ability will do the talking in the upcoming international tournament for West Indies. Her recent performance in the Women's Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) has made her the talking point for the forthcoming game.

For Barbados Royals, she has taken nine wickets in five matches at a commendable economy of six. In her short T20I stint, she has scalped 15 wickets and made 307 runs in 42 games.

Deandra Dottin

Another batter to check out from the Caribbean side would be Deandra Dottin. With the Caribbean side known for producing power hitters from both men's & women's squads, Dottin will help give an attacking start to their West Indies side, especially regarding the short white-ball format. In the recent WCPL edition, she was one of the top run-scorers for the Trinbago Knight Riders, scoring 119 runs in five matches with an average of 24.

In addition, she happens to be the first batter to score a century in an ICC Women's T20 World Cup tournament match in 2010 against South Africa. In her long-time T20I stint, she has made over 2700 runs and scalped 62 wickets in 127 games. 

PAK-W vs WI-W, 16th Match Preview

Pakistan Women and West Indies Women go head to head in Paarl on Sunday afternoon in Match 16 of the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup. Pakistan Women recorded a fine win over Ireland Women but were over reliant on the runs of Muneeba Ali. They will be high on confidence but will need to replicate that performance if they are to make it two wins from two. West Indies Women have been struggling with their self-belief, particularly in the batting department. However, Hayley Matthews is a very consistent player who could well win this game on her own again.

Topmost Picks for PAK-W vs WI-W Dream11 Prediction, 16th Match:

Top Picks – Pakistan-W

• Muneeba Ali– the 25 year old took the Player of the Match Award on Wednesday after scoring 102 runs from 68 balls at the top of the order.

• Bismah Mahroof- the skipper failed to hit a boundary in the last game but made a very impressive 68 not out against India Women earlier in the tournament.

Top Picks – West indies-W

• Hayley Matthews- the skipper deserves to be playing for a team with a far stronger record. She took 2-18 before hitting eight fours and a six in her unbeaten innings against Ireland Women on Friday.

• Shamilia Connell- the 30 year old pace bowler dismissed two of Ireland Women’s top three which went a long way to keeping West Indies Women in the match.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for PAK-W vs WI-W Dream11 Team:

Muneeba Ali, Shemaine Campbelle, Javeria Khan, Bismah Maroof, Hayley Matthews(C), Nida Dar(VC), Chenille Henry, Afy Fletcher, Karishma Ramharack, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for PAK-W vs WI-W Dream11 Team:

Muneeba Ali(C), Rashada Williams, Shemaine Campbelle, Ayesha Naseem, Bismah Maroof(VC), Hayley Matthews, Nida Dar, Chenille Henry, Karishma Ramharack, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Hayley Matthews, Muneeba Ali

Vice-captain – Nida Dar, Bismah Maroof

Wicketkeeper – Muneeba Ali

PAK-W vs WI-W 16th Match Probable Winners:

This should be an exciting game with both sides still hoping to qualify for the semi-final of the 2022 T20 World Cup. Both sides do not have a great deal of strength in depth but do have match-winners with both bat and ball. Matthews became only the third West Indies Women’s player to hit over 1500 WT20I runs with her match-winning knock on Friday. It is still an outside chance for Pakistan Women and West Indies Women so there should not be too much pressure and both teams should be able to play with a good deal of freedom. Considering the team combination, West indies-W is expected to win this match.

IND-W vs WI-W, 9th Match Preview

India Women and West Indies Women go head to head in Match 9 of the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup in Cape Town on Monday afternoon. India Women beat Pakistan Women by seven wickets on Sunday with West Indies Women losing their opening match against England Women on Saturday. India Women have been one of the strongest sides in women’s cricket over recent years and bounced back from their defeat in the Tri-Nation Series Final with the win on Sunday. They will be very confident ahead of this clash.

• Radha Yadav- the 22 year old spinner has been in excellent form since arriving in South Africa last month. Ahead of this match, she is yet to go wicketless in the country.

Top Picks – West Indies-W

IND-W vs WI-W 9th Match Probable Winners:

If West Indies Women’s top-order batters can get off to another strong start and build on it in this match then it will give their side a chance of causing an upset. However, India Women have power across their batting line-up and plenty of variety in their bowling unit. West Indies Women have struggled to compete with the best teams in all formats over the last 18 months and, player for player, they are certainly the weaker side ahead of this game. Considering the team combination, India-W is expected to win this match.
