If Trinbago Knight Riders-Women Bats First

Hayley Matthews

Hayley Matthews will bowl her full quota and open the innings for the Royals. Matthews is one of the best all-rounders in women's cricket; a proven performer with both bat & ball. She hasn't been in the best of forms with the bat but is picking up wickets consistently and can pick up a few against TKR's struggling batting unit. She has 44 runs and 4 wickets to her name in 3 games. 

Erin Burns

Kelly bowled in the death overs and she will be an ideal C/VC option if Barbados Royals women are batting first. She has 21 runs and 5 wickets in two games. 

Anisa Mohammed

Anisa Mohammed is the main spin bowler for the Windies women's team. She is a genuine wicket-taker and will be a top C/VC choice. Mohammed picked up 4 wickets in the last game. She is handy with the bat as well and can fetch some crucial points with the bat. Mohammad will exploit the slowish nature of the pitch and can pick up a few wickets in this game.

Deandra Dottin
