West Indies Women
The Hayley Matthews-led West Indies side would want to massively improve on their performance from the opening game. The Windes looked far from their potential as they managed to remain in the contest on the back of a few individual performances. Matthews has been their best player so far, but she would expect a few more of her teammates to step up against India.
