West Indies Women are set to take on South Africa Women in the final ODI of the three-match series at the Three Ws Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. With the series level at 1-1, all eyes will be on this crucial clash to determine the winner.
The hosts started well in the opening game but felt short in the second. While captain Hayley Matthews and Qiana Joseph have provided stability at the top, the middle and lower order will need to contribute more meaningfully. Their bowling unit has also struggled to make breakthroughs, and a more aggressive effort will be essential if they are to clinch the series.
South Africa, on the other hand, bounced back strongly after a disappointing start. Under the leadership of Laura Wolvaardt, the Proteas will be eager to clinch the decider, especially with the Women’s World Cup 2025 on the line. Sune Luus has been in fine form with the bat, while Nonkululeko Mlaba has led the bowling attack with control and consistency.

Three Ws Oval Pitch Report
The Three Ws Oval in Cave Hill is a well-regarded venue that offers a balanced contest between bat and ball, with a slight edge for batters. Known for its consistent bounce and lively pace, the pitch provides an excellent surface for strokeplay, allowing batters to play their shots with confidence. That said, the conditions also offer significant assistance to fast bowlers—particularly during the middle overs where pronounced swing can pose serious challenges for batters and create opportunities for key breakthroughs. Given the pitch’s historical behavior and surface quality, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt for batting first, aiming to post a strong total before the conditions begin to favor the seamers.
