With odds stacked against them, after three losses and

one no result in their four previous four clashes against New Zealand, the West Indies cannot harbour any realistic hopes with their current inconsistent form. The Merissa Aguilleira-led side has been erratic so far losing the campaign-opener by 105 runs to India, thumping Sri Lanka by 209 runs, losing to England by six wickets before winning by two wickets against South Africa. The West Indies batting has been patchy and they made heavy weather of a reasonably easy chase before clinching a two-wicket victory over South Africa in their first Super Six match. The bowling attack lacks sting as the medium pacers haven't been able to pick up wickets at the start to restrict the opposition. Opener Stafanie Taylor is the player in prime form for the Caribbean side and she has been wielding the bat well to score 255 runs. They would expect her to produce the spectacular knock of 137-ball 171 she did against Sri Lanka, to get them over the line against New Zealand. World record holder for the fastest 100 in T20s, Deandra Dottin will bolster the middle-order and try to put the opponents on the back foot.
