Thu, Sep 26, '13

West Indies Women all-rounder Shanel Daley is expecting a tough series against New Zealand Women when the teams meet in a three-match one day international series next month at Sabina Park.

The series, which is set to bowl off on Sunday, October 6, will see West Indies looking to build on their appearance in the final of the ICC Women's World Cup in India last February.

It will also provide both teams an opportunity to face-off again after West Indies got the better of the New Zealanders in play-off action to reach the final of the World Cup.

"It's going to be a tough series as New Zealand is one of the better teams in women's cricket," said Daley, who is ranked number one in the ICC Women's Twenty20 bowlers ranking.

"They have very good players, classy players, with quite a few being ranked in the top 10 of bowlers and batters.
