The show is about to begin with the hosts, New Zealand going head-to-head with a fiery West Indies team in the first match of the World Cup 2022. New Zealand will be riding high on confidence after having played an entire domestic season and followed it up with a 4-1 win over India. Meanwhile, West Indies are coming on the back of a series defeat to South Africa in South Africa.
The individual team records after the last ODI World Cup in 2017 isn’t too promising. New Zealand have won 16 and lost 24 matches in this time period while West Indies women have won 13 and lost 22 matches. While they whitewashed Pakistan in November 2021 in a three-match series, a series loss to South Africa recently would dent their confidence.

A total of 12 ODIs have been played at the Bay Oval and the average score at this venue has been 232 runs.
Pitch report: The pitch shall assist some swing early on, but will be a belter for the batters to feast upon.
Amelia Kerr: She has been in top-form after finishing as the 2nd highest run-scorer in the Super Smash. She converted that in the ODI series against India by scoring 3 fifties and a century in 5 ODIs at the No.3 position.
Sophie Devine: Devine flexed her muscles by creaming Australia in the warm-up by scoring 161*. She emerged victorious in the WBBL and followed it up with a Super Smash title. All of this success has reflected on her confidence levels and she will look to convert that while leading the White Ferns.
Deandra Dottin: Dottin’s back and South Africa were at the receiving end of her blitz in the recently concluded ODI series. She has scored 235 runs this year at an average of 78.3 and a blistering SR of 89.
Stafanie Taylor: The West Indies skipper has fully recovered after she sustained an injury during the ODI series against South Africa. She will be pivotal as an all-rounder for her team. While she acts as a glue with the bat around whom the others thrive, her bowling has been equally important in the middle-overs.
