Preview:
West Indies Women had a successful T20I series, where they whitewashed Pakistan Women by 3-0. West Indies team management was extremely satisfied with the T20 performances and opted for almost the same squad for the first 2 ODIs, while Chinelle Henry has been rested. Stafanie Taylor and her team will play 5-match ODI series against Pakistan Women and expecting a good start.
Meanwhile, Pakistan will be really disappointed with the things that have gone in the T20 series as they were completely outplayed by the West Indies Women. They just need to move on from the loss and concentrate more on the upcoming matches.

Pitch Report:
Coolidge Cricket Ground hasn’t hosted ODI games till now. However, it has hosted 4 T20Is where the team batting first has won all those matches. It’s a clear indication that the surface will slow down as the match progresses. Whoever wins the toss should bat first.
