The Kiwi women, ranked third in the world, are on a roll in the tournament, having beaten South Africa, Australia, Ireland, Sri Lanka - all with convincing margins - on their way to the clash.

New Zealand are, thus, clear favourites to win today against the no 5 ranked Windies. Windies women have had a roller-coaster ride to the last four, losing two games out of five.

However, it will take a very special effort by the Caribbeans to edge past the on-a-roll New Zealand.
