Hosts India Women (IND-W) will take on the visitors West Indies Women (WI-W) in the first match of the T20I series, at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, on Sunday, December 15. After the heartbreaking group stage exit from the T20 World Cup 2024, India won the ODI series against New Zealand by 2-1 but subsequently lost the 50-over series against Australia by 3-0. They would like to capitalize on the home advantage and get back to the winning ways.

On the other hand, West Indies went into hibernation mode after losing the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final to New Zealand. This will be their comeback to competitive cricket after a long sabbatical. The tour included three T20Is and as many ODIs, where the shorter format will be played in Mumbai while the 50-over games are scheduled in Vadodara.
