Team Preview
Barbados Women Preview
Barbados Women entered the tournament as a balanced unit but were outclassed in their opening fixture against Trinidad and Tobago Women. Despite possessing seasoned names like Kyshona Knight and Shamilia Connell, their batting lacked spine, crumbling under scoreboard pressure. The only highlight was Knight’s gritty 24-run knock. Their bowling, however, showed promise, especially with Keila Elliott grabbing 5 wickets. Barbados will need the middle order and lower order to offer more resistance. Key players like Kycia Knight and Shamilia Connell must step up if Barbados are to make a mark in this match.
Leeward Islands Women Preview
Leeward Islands Women had their moments in their first match but eventually went down to Guyana Women by 7 wickets. Amanda Edwards has emerged as the team’s standout performer so far, contributing with both bat and ball. However, the rest of the batting unit lacked fluency, and partnerships were non-existent. Qiana Joseph offered a decent start, but the strike rate needs improvement. Their bowlers couldn’t defend the small total despite an early breakthrough. For Leeward Islands Women to pull off a win, consistency and temperament will be key.

Favourite Team in Today Match
Leeward Islands Women are the favorites to win this contest despite their opening loss. Their squad, led by the in-form Amanda Edwards, appears more balanced across departments. Edwards offers dual value with bat and ball, while players like Qiana Joseph and Divya Saxena can anchor the innings. They showed fighting spirit even in defeat and can build on their momentum against a Barbados side that seems more fragile, especially with their top-order form and over-reliance on one or two players.
If Leeward Islands can form partnerships and bowl with discipline, they have a strong chance to dominate. Their ability to control the middle overs and restrict the opposition gives them an edge. While Barbados Women have the talent, inconsistency in both batting and bowling puts them at a disadvantage. Overall, Leeward Islands Women seem better prepared and more likely to bounce back stronger.
Pitch Report
The surface at Arnos Vale Ground favors batters early on but tends to slow down in the second half. Spinners get assistance from the pitch, especially as the game progresses. A score above 135 can be competitive.
