Will the Women’s Team India able to continue their winning streak against West Indies in their second match in World Cup?

The ninth match of the World Cup in Group B between India and West Indies is scheduled to take place today at 6:30 pm at Newlands Cape Town. India started their campaign with a convincing 7-wicket victory over Pakistan, while West Indies suffered a defeat to England in their first match. Good news for the Indian Women's Team is that Smriti Mandhana, who has been out due to injury, will make a return to the team today. Looking at the history of the two teams, India has won 12 out of the 20 matches played against West Indies, while the remaining 8 matches were won by West Indies.

The Indian team is facing a challenge as their captain Harmanpreet Kaur has not been able to score more than 20 runs in the last 10 matches of the World Cup. In the previous match against Pakistan, she scored only 16 runs. Today, all eyes will be on Harmanpreet Kaur to see if she can improve her performance, which will benefit herself and the Indian team. Another Indian team star, all-rounder Deepti Sharma, had a bad match previously, giving away 39 runs in 4 overs. However, there is hope that she can make a comeback in today's match.

The West Indies Women's Team has a talented opener batsman named Hayley Matthews who recently scored 42 runs in just 32 balls while playing against England. She has been performing well in this World Cup and there is a chance she may score big against India in today's match. With these promising statistics, today's game is expected to be quite exciting.
