The 20th and final match of the Group stage in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will feature a highly anticipated clash between England Women and West Indies Women at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Australia and New Zealand have already advanced to the semifinals, leaving this match with significant implications for both England and West Indies. England enters the game on a hot streak, having won all three of their matches so far, including a dominant 10-wicket victory over Scotland. On the other hand, after a slow start, West Indies have bounced back impressively, winning two consecutive matches, most recently defeating Bangladesh by 8 wickets.

This match is critical for both sides, but especially for West Indies. A loss would mean England and South Africa, both with three wins already, will advance to the semifinals. West Indies, with two wins, must secure victory to keep their semifinal hopes alive.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at Dubai International Cricket Stadium provides a well-balanced contest between bat and ball. In the early overs, fast bowlers can take advantage of significant swing and movement with the new ball, making this phase crucial for the bowling side. Seamers can exploit both swing and bounce effectively, often creating early breakthroughs. However, the conditions favor the batters as the ball loses its shine and the initial overs wind down. With reduced assistance for the bowlers, batters can play more freely, finding it easier to execute their shots as the game progresses.
