ENG-W vs WI-W 22nd Match Dream11 Prediction (24 June 2026)

Lord’s — the Home of Cricket, hosts the Group B showdown that could decide which two teams advance to the semi-finals. England, four wins from four under stand-in captain Charlie Dean, are top of the group and in commanding form.

West Indies, three wins from three with Hayley Matthews producing all-round brilliance at every turn, sit second.

Both sides have already punched their semi-final tickets in all but name, but winning here sets up a potential seeding advantage and sends a statement to the rest of the tournament.

ENG-W vs WI-W Match Info — ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, Match 22

England Women face West Indies Women in Match 22 of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 at Headingley, Leeds. Both teams will be looking to secure valuable points as the tournament heads into a crucial stage.

ENG-W vs WI-W Win Probability & Match Odds

England are the hosts, the form side, and carry the deepest batting lineup in the tournament — their 219/1 against Sri Lanka remains the highest score of the World Cup. But they are without their captain and best all-rounder: Nat Sciver-Brunt has been ruled out with a left calf strain and will not return until the New Zealand fixture at The Oval. Charlie Dean steps up as skipper, and the hosts have won three out of three without Sciver-Brunt already this summer.

West Indies are the only other unbeaten side in Group B. Hayley Matthews has taken three wickets in two consecutive matches and anchored the batting with composure. Shemaine Campbelle’s 90* against New Zealand and Stafanie Taylor’s decisive cameos have shown the Caribbean side has the firepower to pressure any total at Lord’s.

Win probability: England Women 60% — West Indies Women 40%

That 40% is very meaningful. West Indies have beaten New Zealand, Scotland, and Sri Lanka, and Matthews is in career-defining form. Expect a close, high-quality contest at a ground that suits both power-hitting and quality bowling.

Toss Prediction for ENG-W vs WI-W at Lord’s

Lord’s offers a genuinely balanced pitch. The famous slope creates natural swing angles for seamers early on, and the surface tends to play true with good carry for batters. In T20s here, teams batting first average around 151, but both these sides are capable of posting well above that. Conditions at Lord’s in a London evening are typically settled with the risk of dew later in the innings.

With two powerful batting lineups and a true pitch, the toss winner may choose to bat first and set a target under the famous Lord’s lights — scoreboard pressure works here, and defending above 160 carries a slight historical advantage.

Toss Prediction: Bat first.

Lord’s Pitch Report for ENG-W vs WI-W

Fantasy Implication: Lord’s is a venue where big hitters thrive. Danni Wyatt-Hodge’s explosive powerplay hitting, Alice Capsey’s all-round flair, and Sophie Ecclestone’s ability to stifle run-scoring with sharp spin make them the core England picks. For West Indies, Hayley Matthews is the non-negotiable captain, and Shemaine Campbelle, the only batter to score a T20 World Cup 90* this tournament, is the key batting differential.

England Women Probable Playing XI

Nat Sciver-Brunt is confirmed absent, replaced in the XI by Sophia Dunkley, who scored a match-winning 57 off 37 against Scotland. Charlie Dean continues as captain and has led England superbly, winning the T20I series against New Zealand and India earlier this summer. England’s depth is their great strength: even without their captain, they have posted 200+ twice in this tournament.

Why Danni Wyatt-Hodge is the must-have batting pick: England’s centurion in the tournament opener — 100* off 47 balls against Sri Lanka in Birmingham — has set the tone for England’s record-breaking campaign. She hits boundaries at a relentless rate in the powerplay and her ability to clear the Lord’s short side makes her a banker across all leagues. Lord’s is exactly the kind of flat, true surface where she feasts.

Why Sophie Ecclestone is England’s bowling anchor: The world’s number one-ranked WT20I bowler (at her peak) produced match-winning figures of 3/22 against Ireland and has been the pick of England’s attack in every match. Her ability to strangle batting lineups in the middle overs — bowling 20 dot balls against Ireland — is a unique asset. Against a West Indies side that struggles when denied scoring opportunities in overs 7–15, Ecclestone is the key bowling pick.

Why Alice Capsey is the all-round differential: Capsey’s explosive lower-order hitting and her off-spin give her three ways to score fantasy points. Against Scotland she came in at No.5 and accelerated brilliantly through the death. England’s batting depth means she can bat anywhere from three to six — and her bowling gives Charlie Dean a reliable sixth option.

Why Sophia Dunkley is essential: Replacing Sciver-Brunt is not easy, but Dunkley’s 57 off 37 against Scotland was one of the innings of the tournament. She counterattacked from the first ball of her innings and was the catalyst for England posting 200/5. With the confidence of that knock behind her and Lord’s offering a true pitch, she is a high-floor pick in all formats.

West Indies Women Probable Playing XI

West Indies are expected to be unchanged, though Chinelle Henry’s fitness management continues to be monitored. The combination of Matthews at the top and Stafanie Taylor in the lower-middle order has given West Indies a reliable formula — explosive start, veteran steadiness in the chase. Campbelle behind the stumps adds bonus points potential.

Why Hayley Matthews is the non-negotiable captain pick: The West Indies captain has been Player of the Match in two consecutive games — 3/15 against Sri Lanka, 3/19 against Scotland — and brings the ball into left-handers’ middle stump with natural off-spin that is almost impossible to attack on true pitches. She also bats at the top and can accelerate at any point. At Lord’s, a ground where she previously hit 66* against Ireland in 2023, Matthews is the ultimate captain choice for all leagues.

Why Shemaine Campbelle is the premium batting pick: Her 90* off 62 against New Zealand — the highest individual score in this tournament — came when West Indies were chasing 163 with two early wickets gone. She batted through cramps and pressure to produce one of the finest T20 World Cup chases in history. On a Lord’s pitch where set batters can accelerate, she is the standout batting differential pick.

Why Deandra Dottin is essential: The veteran all-rounder provides middle-order firepower and handy pace options. Dottin at her best is one of the most destructive batters in women’s cricket — her ability to clear boundaries at Lord’s, where she has fond memories from previous England series, makes her a smart GL pick.

Why Karishma Ramharack is the bowling differential: Ramharack mopped up the SL tail with 2/15 in the previous match, bowling economically and hitting good lengths. Lord’s pitch, which tends to take spin as the innings develops, suits her well. Against England’s middle order — who can struggle when forced to play against off-spin — she is a smart Grand League bowling pick.

ENG-W vs WI-W Dream11 Prediction Team

ENG-W vs WI-W Head-to-Head Record

England dominate this fixture comprehensively, they have won 25 of the 28 Women’s T20Is played between the two sides since 2017. West Indies’ three wins in that period stand out as genuine upsets, but the trend is overwhelmingly in England’s favour. At home, England have rarely lost a T20I series, and West Indies have never beaten England in a T20 World Cup.

The 25-3 record is commanding, but West Indies enter this match as genuine equals. Matthews’ all-round form makes her a one-woman threat to England’s rhythm, and the Caribbean side’s ability to absorb pressure, as they showed against New Zealand and Scotland, means they will not fold.

Our Prediction: England Win — But West Indies Push Them All the Way

Bottom line: England’s depth, home advantage, and Ecclestone’s bowling should edge it — but this is West Indies’ best chance of a famous win in years.

Why England Win

Even without Sciver-Brunt, England have posted 219, 119, and 200 in their three matches. Lord’s is their backyard — they know the slope, the conditions, and the dew pattern. Ecclestone, Dean, and Gibson form a spinning triumvirate that Matthews will need to negotiate carefully, while Wyatt-Hodge and Capsey have the power to put the match beyond West Indies’ reach. England’s batting depth is simply unmatched in this group.

Why West Indies Can Win

Matthews bowling to Wyatt-Hodge and Capsey with the new ball at Lord’s is a genuine contest. Campbelle’s ability to anchor a chase — she did it against defending champions New Zealand — means West Indies can handle any target if the openers give her a platform. Alleyne’s pace at the Pavilion End with the slope in her favour could unsettle England’s top order early, and Stafanie Taylor’s death-hitting makes a modest total dangerous.

Final Verdict

This is a 60-40 contest that could go either way in the final three overs. England’s home conditions, Ecclestone’s control, and their batting depth should see them through. If West Indies post or chase 160+, it becomes a genuine coin-flip.

Predicted Winner: England Women — by 10–15 runs or 2–3 wickets.
