West Indies Women vs New Zealand Women 2nd T20I prediction
West Indies Women won the first WT20I, however, their record against the Kiwis in this format is underwhelming. Despite the hosts’ recent form, they fall behind New Zealand in their all-round match-winning abilities. The Windies side are likely to challenge the Kiwis in the upcoming encounter.
New Zealand Women were prolific in the recently concluded WODIs against the Windies. They have a higher win probability in the second T20 international and are expected to bounce back to winning ways.
