EN-W vs WI-W Pre-Match Analysis and Review

England's Struggles: England's batting line-up has been struggling throughout, and star batswomen Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight are facing the pressure to deliver. Their bowling attack, led by Sophie Ecclestone, has also failed to provide any penetration in their last few games.

West Indies' Momentum: WI-W, led by Hayley Matthews, have been stubborn. Matthews' all-round capability (42 runs and 3/20 in the 2024 T20 WC match) and Stafanie Taylor's experience make them dangerous.
