West Indies Women Take on England Women in Feisty Cricket Match. In a hotly contested match between the West Indies Women vs England Women, the final result came down to the wire.

2. The team was founded in 1926 and the first game they played was against the Barbados men’s team, which they beat by an innings and 22 runs.

The previous series had been played out at the same ground and while they were able to win one match, the West Indies were getting closer to securing a victory. It would be exciting to see if this game would be different and if it would allow them to close in on their goal of a series win.
