India-W vs West Indies-W 1st T20I Match: The first match of the three-match T20 series between Indian women's cricket team and West Indies women's cricket team will be played today i.e. on 15 December. This match between the two teams will be played at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai from 7 pm Indian time. The team led by Harmanpreet Kaur did not live up to expectations in the Australia tour, where they had to face a 0-3 defeat. In this series, the command of Team India is on the shoulders of Harmanpreet Kaur. Whereas, West Indies is being led by Hayley Matthews.

In T20Is, the Indian women's national cricket team has suffered defeats many times. They lost to Sri Lanka in the final of the Women's Asia Cup 2024 after performing well throughout the tournament. India went into the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 in the UAE with a lot of hopes and dreams but it all fell apart after losing two group stage matches and failing to qualify for the semi-finals.

On the other hand, West Indies' form has been excellent in recent matches. West Indies has won three of its last five matches. The experienced pair of Stephanie Taylor and Hayley Matthews are the basis of the team's batting. In bowling, Afi Fletcher's spin can create problems for the Indian batsmen.
