After a dominant performance in the series opener, Australia Women (AUS W) will look to seal the ODI series when they take on West Indies Women (WI W) in the second ODI at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts, on Sunday, March 29. 

The visitors come into this contest brimming with confidence, having crushed the hosts by a massive 103-run margin in the first ODI. Australia piled up a record total of 341 and showcased their batting depth, with multiple contributors stepping up across the order.

For West Indies Women, the defeat exposed several concerns, particularly with the ball. However, veteran Stafanie Taylor’s century was a major positive and will give the hosts hope of bouncing back in this must-win encounter.

WI W vs AUS W Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Georgia Voll

The Australian opener Georgia Voll will be the batter to watch out for in this contest. The stylish batter had a decent outing in the series opener, as she scored 42 runs in just 32 balls with a strike rate of 131.25. If she continues to bat in the same way as she did in the opening match, West Indies bowlers will be in trouble.

Probable Best Bowler: Kim Garth

The right-arm pacer from Australia, Kim Garth, was their best bowler in the opening match against the Caribbeans, picking up three wickets, giving away just 37 runs in her ten-over spell. She took the early wickets of the Windies openers, and that proved to be a game-changing spell.

Today’s Match Prediction: New Zealand Women to win the match

The Royal Riders Punjab (RRP) will take on the Southern Super Stars (SSS) in Match No. 8 of the Legends League Cricket (LLC) 2026 on Tuesday, March 17, at the Gandhi Sports Complex Ground, Amritsar.

Royal Riders Punjab (RRP) are currently placed second in the points table, having secured one win from three matches while losing the other two. They registered a victory against Konark Suryas Odisha in their first outing of the tournament; however, they had to face defeats in the next two.

On the other hand, Southern Super Stars (SSS) opened their account in style with an emphatic win over India Captains in their first match of the competition. They won the match by eight wickets and jumped straight at the top of the table. So, this promises to be a cracking encounter.

Gandhi Sports Complex Ground, Amritsar: Pitch Report

The pitch at Gandhi Sports Complex Ground, Amritsar, seems to favour bowlers heavily, especially spinners or the slow-medium pacers. The venue has hosted only one match in the ongoing Legends League Cricket 2026. The match was played between the India Captains and the Southern Super Stars, and it was a low-scoring contest. We can expect the wicket to behave in the same way for the game on Tuesday evening as well.

RRP vs SSS: Head-to-Head T20 Record

This is going to be the first meeting between the Royal Riders Punjab and Southern Super Stars. Therefore, the head-to-head sits at 0-0.

RRP vs SSS: Predicted Playing XIs

Royal Riders Punjab (RRP):

Mohammad Shahzad (WK), Phil Mustard, Rishi Dhawan, Asghar Afghan (c), Chaturanga de Silva, Thisara Perera, Sarul Kanwar, Samiullah Shinwari, Angelo Perera, Anureet Singh, Aftab Alam.

Southern Super Stars (SSS):

Martin Guptill, Punit Bisht, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Diwesh Pathania, Waqarullah Ishaq, Rajat Bhatia, Abhishek Raut, Ravi Jangid, Ajit Chandila, Abhishek Sakuja, Harbhajan Singh (c)

MS vs KSO: Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Dinesh Karthik 

This could be the contest where India’s former wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik turns up in the tournament. If the wicket is slightly tacky or bowler-friendly, no other batter apart from Karthik is capable of handling the situation. If he finds his form back, the veteran cricketer, also a mentor with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, will be hard to stop.

Probable Best Bowler: Harbhajan Singh 

Regarded as one of the finest spinners to ever grace the game, Harbhajan Singh will be the bowler to watch out for in this contest. If the wicket is spin-friendly or slow, it will be hard to play the experienced off-spinner, as he can become even more deadly on such a pitch. His ability to give the ball some extra air can deceive the batters and lure them into playing a rash shot and eventually give away their wicket.
