Who Will Win West Indies Women vs India Women, 5th T20 2019?
India women pipped West Indies women by five runs in the rain-truncated fourth T20 international at Guyana to go 4-0 up in the five-match series. The visitors will have their sights set on a whitewash when they take on the Windies in this final game of the series. The fifth T20I is scheduled to be played on November 20 at the same venue i.e. Providence Stadium in Guyana. Live telecast will begin at 6 PM local time.
West Indies won the toss and elected to bowl first in the last match after it was cut short to nine-over-a-side affair. Only one of the batters managed to reach double figures as India finished their innings at 50-7. The Windies, however, kept losing wickets at regular intervals and eventually ended at 45-5. So after facing failures on the previous four occasions, the hosts will be desperate for a win and will look to sign off on a high.

WIW vs INDW Weather Report
Thunder showers have been forecast throughout Wednesday but they are not expected to be that intense so as to cause a washout. The chances of rain will drop from 6 PM onwards, and although the start might get delayed, we should have a full game of cricket. Temperature is likely to hover around 25 degrees Celsius.
WIW vs INDW Pitch Condition
The Providence Stadium hosted the last two matches of the ongoing series and the pitch seemed to favor the bowlers more. A similar surface can be expected for this game and the batters will have to work hard to put runs on the board.
WIW vs INDW Toss Prediction
There could be a few stoppages in play due to rain. Setting up a total will not be easy in such a scenario and so the team that wins the toss is more likely to bowl first.

WI Women Team News & Playing 11
WIW Team News
West Indies made just the one change to their side in the fourth T20 international as they replaced all-rounder Shakera Selman with left-arm fast bowler Shabika Gajnabi. The latter did not get to bat or bowl in that game and so she could be given another opportunity. Chedean Nation was promoted to the opening position last time and she is likely to open again alongside Hayley Matthews. Stacy-Ann King, who opened in the third T20I, will bat in the lower middle-order.
WIW Key Players
Hayley Matthews: She is not only one of the top performers with the bat for the Windies but also with the ball. Matthews has hit a century and four fifties in the format and has taken 44 wickets including a couple of four-wicket hauls. She has been the pick of the bowlers for her side in this series with five wickets.
Anisa Mohammed: With 117 wickets (4 four-fers and 3 fifers) at an economy of 5.57, she is the team's most successful bowler in the game's shortest format. West Indies will expect their captain to lead from the front on Wednesday.
Afy Fletcher: The leg-spinner has plenty of international experience on her side. She has taken 39 wickets in 43 T20Is and has picked three wickets at an economy of 5.33 in this series. Fletcher returned 2-2 from two overs in the last match.
WIW Recent Form
West Indies' woes in the twenty-over format just don't seem to end. They have now lost their last eight T20 internationals in a row and nine out of the fourteen they have played so far this year. The Windies have had a very poor series in terms of batting as 103 is the highest score they have manged to achieve from their 20 overs. They, however, have shown a slight improvement with the ball in the last two games.

IND Women Team News & Playing 11
INDW Team News
India made a couple of changes in their line-up in the last match - they rested Smriti Mandhana and Poonam Yadav and replaced them by allrounder Harleen Deol and pacer Mansi Joshi. Jemimah Rodrigues was pushed up the order to open the batting in the absence of Smriti Mandhana. Veda Krishnamurthy was also promoted and she will probably bat at number three again. Radha Yadav and Deepti Sharma have been impressive with the new ball and the duo is likely to bowl in the powerplay again.
INDW Key Players
Shafali Verma: The 15-year old Verma is topping the runs charts with 149 runs at an average of 49.66 and strike-rate of 163.73. The opener cracked back-to-back half-centuries in the first two T20Is. However, she has scored only seven runs since then and will look to bounce back on Wednesday.
Deepti Sharma: She is one of India's most reliable batters in the middle order. The allrounder may not have made an impact with the bat in this series but she certainly has made the ball talk. Deepti has picked eight wickets with her off-spin, the most by any bowler in the series, and that too at an exceptional economy of 3.46.
Radha Yadav: She too is amongst the leading wicket-takers in the series having taken six wickets and has been the least expensive of all the bowlers with an economy rate of 3.14. The left-arm spinner picked up a wicket last time while conceding just eight runs off her two overs.
INDW Recent Form
India's impressive T20I form continues and they have now won seven of their last eight matches on the bounce. After beating South Africa 3-1 at home last month, they are dominating the West Indies on this tour. The Indian team outplayed the Windies in the first three matches before holding their nerve last time out to prevail in a rain-curtailed tight encounter. They have had an excellent series with both bat and ball, and barring the last game, their top-order batters have done a fine job.
IND Women Predicted Playing 11
Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Veda Krishnamurthy, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Deepti Sharma, Pooja Vastrakar, Harleen Deol, Taniya Bhatia (wk), Anuja Patil, Radha Yadav, Mansi Joshi

WI Women vs IND Women Betting Odds
India women are huge favorites to win this fifth T20 international at extremely short odds of 1.12 with Betway. West Indies women are the bookmakers' underdogs for this game and they are being offered at a much higher price of 5.50 on Betway.
🏆 WI Women vs IND Women Prediction
Except for the last match which went all the way down to the wire, West Indies have taken a pounding by India in every game of this series. Their batters seem to have no answers against the quality of the Indian bowling attack and they are likely to struggle again on Wednesday. The visitors, on the contrary, are flying high with confidence and will carry lots of momentum with them into this match. They will be tempted to rest some of their star players again like Smriti Mandhana and Poonam Yadav, but even without them in the side, India still appear a superior side and look well poised for a clean sweep.
