The last T20I played at this venue was in July 2024 between New Zealand Women and England Women, when the latter bagged a thrilling six-wicket win in the last over of the game. It would be an exciting contest between the bat and ball, with spinners getting good enough assistance.

ENG-W vs WI-W, 1st T20I Match Winner Prediction

Match Winner: England Women

Both England Women and West Indies Women have been in exceptional form in this particular format. However, the English side secured four wins in the past five encounters against the Caribbean team in T20Is.

While this is going to be an exciting contest between these two exceptional teams, England Women will have a slight edge, thanks to their home advantage.
