Match Preview
West Indies Women (WI-W) and Australia Women (AUS-W) clash in the third T20I of the three-match series at Arnos Vale Ground in St Vincent on Monday, March 23.
Both the matches so far have transpired in a similar manner - Australia scoring 164 and the home team failing to chase down the targets. With the wins, the visitors have secured the series with one match to go and the West Indies would be looking for a consolation win in this match now.
Hayley Matthews is struggling to stem the losing streak which is now four matches long which also includes two series losses. Therefore, a victory in the third T20I is of great importance for the all-rounder's confidence. On the other hand, Australia would be pleased to wrap the series with two back-to-back wins. The Women in Yellow are back to winning ways after losing their previous series to India at home just a month ago.

WI-W vs AUS-W: Players to watch out for
Hayley Matthews (WI-W):
The West Indian captain produced a good all-round effort in the previous match, scoring a significant 56 and picking up a crucial wicket of Phoebe Litchfield. Matthews might be struggling as captain, but she cannot be discounted with the bat and ball. The right-hander was due for a substantial innings in the shortest format and would be confident to put her best foot forward in the next match.
Alana King (AUS-W):
King is currently the highest wicket-taker with five scalps. The leg spinner is in great form and produced two fine spells of 3/14 and 2/25 in the first and second match, respectively. With the pitch expected to play out not too differently, King is expected to make further inroads in the series.
