ENG-W vs WI-W Match Preview & Where to Watch Live? West Indies Women tour of England 2025, 1st T20I

The England Women's Team will battle it out with the West Indies Women's Team in the first T20I on Wednesday, May 21. This will be a new era in English cricket under the coaching of Charlotte Edwards and skipper Nat Sciver after Heather Knight relinquished captaincy after the Ashes Down Under. The series ended on a sour note for England, as they lost all the matches—the one-off Test and the three-match ODI and T20I series.

England will be eager to begin the home summer on a positive note against a West Indies side that has proven to be quite a force to reckon with in recent times. Skipper Hayley Matthews is delivering the goods with bat and ball and is well supported by the experienced batters Stafanie Taylor and Shemaine Campbelle.

ENG-W vs WI-W Match Preview

In the series Down Under, England's batters struggled for timing and form. Barring Sciver and Amy Jones, the rest of the batters failed to be consistent. With the World Cup within five months, Sciver and coach Edwards would be hoping to get the batting sorted. Bowling has looked comparatively good with Lauren Bell and Sarah Glenn firing.

For the West Indies, the main focus will be to maintain the tempo of the innings after explosive starts provided by Matthews and Qiana Joseph. Often, the Caribbean side has been found wanting in the middle period, with batters failing to cash in on the advantage provided by the opening batters. Campbelle and Zaida James will have to show more responsibility in the middle and finishing stages of the innings.
