The start of an international summer is always an exciting moment for any side and this year England's Women side have the honour of playing a match the day before England's Men begin their season on Thursday!
It was October last year when the teams last met and West Indies Women ended a run of successive defeats against England Women with a famous six win victory with 12 balls remaining.
That game was in the Women's T20 World Cup and saw West Indies Women dump England Women out of the competition and the hosts will be determined to make amends at the St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury.
This is also a key moment for England Women who begin a new era under the captaincy of Nat Sciver-Brunt and the coaching of Charlotte Edwards.

After an awful tour of Australia during the Women's Ashes earlier this year, England Women have been waiting for a chance to re-set and start again and this series at home against West Indies Women will give them the opportunity to do so.
Although England Women have a new captain and a new head coach, the make up of their side is much the same as was seen down-under in Australia in January and February.
It will be very interesting to see how Heather Knight gets on as she returns to the ranks after giving up the captaincy while it will also be key for the hosts that new captain Nat Sciver-Brunt does not lose her golden touch with the bat and ball!
Spinner Sophie Ecclestone has not been selected as she is only just back playing after injury and this should give Charlie Dean an opportunity to enjoy the limelight as the top slow bowler in the side.
England Women possess one of the most destructive opening pairs in Tammy Beaumont and Danielle Wyatt-Hodge. Both players are experienced and are coming into the series on the back of excellent form in the Metro Bank Women's One Day Cup. Given that West Indies Women lack a strong new-ball bowling lineup, we anticipate England Women will capitalize on this and score over 44 runs in the first six overs.
Nat Sciver Brunt has scored 426 runs in 19 matches against West Indies Women in T20I's and is averaging 32.76. She is one of the most consistent run-scorers for England and she is also the new captain of England team. So expect her to come good and score over 21 runs against West Indies Women in the 1st T20I.

West Indies Women beat England Women the last time they went head to head but this is likely to be a tough assignment across the series including in this game on Wednesday in Canterbury.
But Hayley Matthews, who is one of the most talented female cricketers in the world, will bring a team who are confident and will not take a backward step in this fixture.
Matthews, Qiana Joseph, vice-captain Shemaine Campbelle, Aaliyah Alleyne and Stafanie Taylor are likely to be key players for the 'women in maroon' across this game in Canterbury but as ever with West Indies Women, many of the other players may struggle with the level.
When they last met, Joseph took the Player of the Match with 52 runs from 38 balls as she and Matthews hit 102 runs at the top of the order for the first wicket.
Matthews has scored 226 runs in 16 matches, averaging a mere 14.12 against England. While she has often struggled to score runs against England in the past, she has been in good form with the bat recently, scoring 87 runs in two matches in 2025. We back her to start the series on a good note and score over 22 runs in today's match.

There may be plenty of rain around earlier in the day in Canterbury with some showers remaining at the toss. The conditions may see a reduced-overs match with the temperature no higher than 14 degrees.
There is typically a good contest between bat and ball in Canterbury but with the overhead conditions it may well be better than normal for the bowlers! A par score is likely to be no higher than 140.
We back the home team, England Women to win the coin toss the 1st T20I match in West Indies Women tour of England.
This will be the third WT20I in Canterbury and the first since July last year. The last game was won by the team fielding first so we predict that both captains will want to bowl first in this match.
West Indies Women will arrive in Canterbury with their win in Dubai during October still fresh in the minds of both teams. However, we expect this England Women's side under new leadership to be too strong on Wednesday evening.
