Injuries: No injuries have been reported for this game

Predicted XI

India Women:

India will not be able to call upon Smriti Mandhana for this game with Priya Punia set to open the batting alongside Jemimah Rodrigues. The experience of Harmanpreet Kaur and Mithali Raj also bodes well with ample batting depth also on offer for the Indians. The spin duo of Ekta Bisht and Poonam Yadav will be key heading into this game.

Mithali Raj, Harmanpreet Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues, Priya Punia, Punam Raut, Deepti Sharma, Taniya Bhatia, Jhulan Goswami, Shikha Pandey, Ekta Bisht and Poonam Yadav

West Indies Women:

West Indies will field a strong side comprising of Stafanie Taylor and the experienced Shemaine Campbell. Their bowling attack revolves around Afy Fletcher and Chinelle Henry, who did impress against the Aussies last month. A couple of unknown quantities could also feature in Allyene, who could play a role as well during the course of the match.

Kyshona Knight, Stafanie Taylor, Shemaine Campbell, Natasha McLean, Chinelle Henry, Stacy Ann-King, Shawnisha Hector, Britney Cooper, Chedean Nation, Aaliyah Alleyne and Afy Fletcher

Top Picks:

Jemimah Rodrigues managed to score a fifty against the South Africans but wasnt able to show consistency during the course of the series. She has over 200 runs in 2019 and looks good for more. Along with her, the likes of Harmanpreet Kaur and Shemaine Campbell also warranty a place in the side. Stafanie Taylor, who ranks among the best allrounders in the world is also a worthwhile option. The Indian duo of Poonam Yadav and Ekta Bisht is a must have in the side while Afy Fletcher should round the fantasy team for this game.

Captaincy Picks:

1. Jemimah Rodrigues
2. Deepthi Sharma
3. Stafanie Taylor
