The stage is set for the 13th match of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 between Bangladesh and West Indies at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on Thursday, 10 October. Both teams have had an equal share of victories and losses, with Bangladesh Women and West Indies Women each securing two wins and two losses.
Bangladesh, led by Nigar Sultana, started their campaign strongly with a 16-run victory over Scotland. However, they faced a setback in their most recent match against England Women, struggling to build momentum due to ineffective strike rotation by the openers.
On the other hand, the West Indies team had a slow start to the tournament with a loss to South Africa, the runners-up of the last edition. They quickly turned things around with a win against Scotland and will be looking to maintain their momentum in the upcoming match.
Both teams will be eager to secure a victory in this crucial match to strengthen their position in the tournament.
