New Zealand Women are favorites to win
New Zealand Women and West Indies Women get the 2022 Women’s Cricket World Cup underway on Friday afternoon at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. This is the 12th edition of the tournament and the first since 2017 which was won by England Women. Read on as we preview this opening match of the competition. The day-night fixture begins at 14:00 local time.
New Zealand Women come into this tournament in excellent form after beating India 4-1 in a recent WODI series. As hosts they will want to get off to a flying start in this game.
West Indies Women have some very talented players and come into this match with no real expectations. If their big names perform then they could cause an upset.
This game and all of the Women’s Cricket World Cup matches will be shown via the Star Sports Network in India and Sri Lanka. Fox Sports will broadcast the tournament in Australia, ESPN across the Caribbean, Sky Sports and Sky Cricket in New Zealand and UK, PTV in Pakistan.

Weather conditions on the day could alter this but we expect both skippers to insert the opposition if they win the toss ahead of this tournament opener.
The Bay Oval is renowned for assisting the quick and medium-pace bowlers. We expect a pitch with good carry and a par score to be 250-300.
Cloudy conditions with the temperature in the low 20s during the afternoon and the high teens in the evening.

West Indies Women had a disappointing tournament in 2017, winning only two games and finishing five points from the knockout-stage in 6th place. They have an over-reliance on their top players but they are capable of causing upsets when at their best.
West Indies Women have lost their last two WODIs.

Both sides have some excellent batters at the top of their respective orders. West Indies’ Stafanie Taylor is one of only three players to have scored 5000+ WODI runs.

This opening fixture of the 2022 Women’s World Cup sees the 5th and 6th placed sides from the 2017 competition go head to head. Recent form would suggest that New Zealand in home conditions will be the stronger of the two teams. We are predicting a victory for New Zealand.
