Team Previews
Leeward Islands Women Preview (LIW)
Leeward Islands Women have emerged as one of the standout teams in this year’s tournament. With two wins from three matches, they sit comfortably at the 2nd position on the points table. The star of the campaign has been Qiana Joseph, who is not only their leading run-scorer with 102 runs but also a proven match-winner. Her blistering 43* off 18 balls in the rain-affected win against Jamaica Women underlines her capability to turn games single-handedly.
Additionally, Shawnisha Hector has provided breakthroughs with the ball, leading the bowling unit with 3 wickets. Their ability to recover from shaky starts and finish strong with bat and ball is commendable. The team’s momentum, team coordination, and form make them favorites heading into this clash.
Windward Islands Women Preview (WIW)
Windward Islands Women, currently 5th in the table, have managed only 1 win in 3 matches. However, their recent win over Trinidad and Tobago Women offers hope. Chasing a modest total of 72, Carena Noel showed grit and responsibility, scoring 25 runs in a low-scoring thriller. She’s the leading run scorer for her team with 40 runs.
On the bowling side, veteran Afy Fletcher has impressed, taking 3 wickets with her experience and control. However, inconsistent top-order performances and collapses under pressure continue to hurt Windward Islands Women. For them to challenge the Leeward side, improved application from the top order and early breakthroughs with the ball are a must.

Favorite Team Today
Leeward Islands Women come into this match with confidence and form on their side. They have shown great balance between bat and ball, with players stepping up in crunch situations. The presence of a power-hitter like Qiana Joseph, who has amassed over 100 runs in just three games, gives them an edge in batting. On the bowling front, Shawnisha Hector’s ability to pick wickets at crucial intervals keeps opponents under pressure. In contrast, Windward Islands Women have struggled with top-order consistency and often rely on one or two players to bail them out. Their batting collapse against Trinidad and Tobago Women was concerning despite the win. Leeward Islands’ strong middle order and composed bowling unit make them the better all-round side. Given their recent dominant win over Jamaica and stronger team synergy, Leeward Islands Women are the favorites to win this encounter.
