NZ-W vs WI-W: Toss Update, Melie Kerr’s 100th WT20I Match
In NZ-W vs WI-W, both the captains, Hayley Matthews, the captain of West Indies, and Amelia Kerr, captaining New Zealand, are looking to win this important match of the early season and keep a good winning record throughout the tournament. Hayley Matthews won the toss and elected to field first, and Hayley believes that bowling first on this pitch will be a good option as bounce and pace will be good, and later the dew factor will be in the match.
New Zealand captain Amelia Kerr, on the other hand, was happy as it is her 100th T20I match, and also key players like Suzie Bates, the destructive batter of New Zealand, will not be playing this match.
