After preventing NZ from a record chase five days ago, Taylor opts to set a target

West Indies chose to bat vs England

After preventing the hosts, New Zealand, from a record chase in the tournament opener five days ago, Stafanie Taylor opted for her side to set a target against England in Dunedin.

The match between New Zealand and Bangladesh on Monday at the same venue was rain-affected and reduced to 27-overs a side, but proceedings were due to get underway as scheduled under cloudy skies. With luck, this match could be uninterrupted.

West Indies come into the match on a high after beating New Zealand at the Bay Oval thanks to a century from Hayley Matthews and last-over heroics from Deandra Dottin. England, meanwhile, are searching for their first points of the tournament after losing to Australia by 12 runs at the weekend. Both sides are unchanged from their opening matches.

In 23 prior meetings, West Indies have only beaten England five times, most recently in October 2016. England have won 15 of their clashes, including all of the last five.

West Indies: 1 Deandra Dottin, 2 Hayley Matthews, 3 Kycia Knight, 4 Stafanie Taylor (capt), 5 Shemaine Campbelle (wk), 6 Chedean Nation, 7 Chinelle Henry, 8 Aaliyah Alleyne, 9 Shamilia Connell, 10 Anisa Mohammed, 11 Shakera Selman

England: 1 Lauren Winfield-Hill, 2 Tammy Beaumont, 3 Heather Knight (capt), 4 Nat Sciver, 5 Amy Jones (wk), 6 Danni Wyatt, 7 Sophia Dunkley, 8 Katherine Brunt, 9 Sophie Eccelestone, 10 Kate Cross, 11 Anya Shrubsole
