All The best to both teams

Thank you Soni for the thread and for tagging me.

This time, the final will be interesting!! Not like a foregone conclusion. As long as Australia is in the scene, it was not like this!!

Teams:

West Indies Women (Playing XI): Hayley Matthews(c), Qiana Joseph, Stafanie Taylor, Shemaine Campbelle(w), Deandra Dottin, Chinelle Henry, Zaida James, Ashmini Munisar, Aaliyah Alleyne, Afy Fletcher, Karishma Ramharack

New Zealand Women (Playing XI): Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine(c), Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, Isabella Gaze(w), Rosemary Mair, Lea Tahuhu, Eden Carson, Fran Jonas

Matthews: We were actually going to have a bowl. Have been successful doing that. Everyone within the dressing room is still really hungry taking two steps further. One change - Stafanie Taylor is back for Nation. Shows how the world game is growing. Really good where we can have a tournament where teams in the middle half are reaching the finals. Hopefully it does a lot for those teams and helps get cricket out of the top three a bit more and gives opportunity to teams at the bottom of the rankings.

Devine: We'll bat first. We think the wicket looks good. Obviously a new strip for us here. Hopefully get runs on the board and put pressure on WI. Have been fortunate with the schedule to get a couple of days off to be able to reflect and soak in the highs of making it through to the semis. But we've been focussed these last two days of having some really good training. Have been able to implement a couple of things that we think will help us have success tonight. Same team. Thankfully not too many of us around who played that (SF against WI in 2016). Obviously the game has grown so much since that tournament.

New Zealand Women have won the toss and have opted to bat

Pitch report | Lydia Greenway and Anjum Chopra: Temperatures slightly lower than it was at the start of the tournament. 73 meters down the ground, 59 and 62 to the side. Same pitch used as the first day of the tournament. Highest score on that day was 119. But because it's had a lot of time in the last few days, there's a nice green cover which says the wicket has been rested enough.

Good news for West Indies with Stafanie Taylor back in the side. But will they disturb the opening combination, which was so good against England? Also, both teams got what they wanted at the toss.
