West Indies Women Preview
West Indies Women struggled with the bat in the 2nd T20I, managing only 101 runs in 20 overs. The innings never gained momentum, with wickets falling at regular intervals.
Hayley Matthews top-scored with 28 runs off 36 balls, but the overall scoring rate remained low throughout the innings. Deandra Dottin and Aaliyah Alleyne provided brief contributions, but the lack of partnerships hurt the hosts badly.
With the ball, Afy Fletcher (2/16) and Qiana Joseph (2/13) tried to apply pressure, but Sri Lanka paced their chase smartly to secure victory with 11 balls remaining. West Indies will need a much stronger batting display in the final T20I if they want to level the series.

Kavisha Dilhari also played a steady role in the middle order, while the bowling unit, led by Malki Madara (3/16) and Nilakshika Silva (3/20), restricted West Indies effectively. Sri Lanka have looked tactically sharper and more disciplined in both departments in this series.

WI-W vs SL-W Pitch Report
The pitch at St George’s has been on the slower side always and also in this series, making stroke-play slightly challenging. Batters need to build their innings patiently, while bowlers who vary their pace and hit good lengths have found success.
The surface has not produced even mid-scoring games like 150’s so far, and totals around 120-130 could be competitive if bowlers execute their plans well while defending targets. The chasing side has had slightly better results at this venue, but conditions remain balanced overall.
