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.

West Indies A took firm control of the first four-day game against India A after piling up 429 in their first innings and then reducing the hosts to 124/3 on the second day at the Gangotri Glades Stadium here.
India A were left with a chance to stage a recovery tomorrow, only thanks to Manpreet Juneja (47 not out) and Lokesh Rahul (46) and the hosts would bank on Juneja and Harshad Khadiwale (5 not out) to to see them through the first hour tomorrow.
The Indians had started fairly confidently with Rahul and Jiwanjot Singh looking solid against the West Indian new ball attack of Miguel Cummins and Delorn Johnson. But Singh was sent on his way back to the pavilion with India A on 45 in the 15th over, when Veerasammy Permaul had the opener caught behind by Chadwick Walton. Skipper Cheteshwar Pujara walked out to a huge roar from another healthy crowd at the Gangotri Glades Stadium but he was to disappoint his fans soon; Pujara had reached a mere three when he spooned a catch to Kieran Powell off Cummins as India A slipped to 49/2 in the 18th over.

West Indies A's Kirk Edwards and Kraigg Brathwaite kept India A's bowlers at bay for almost two sessions with a 172-run second-wicket stand, but quick strikes in the last session meant the teams were even at the end of the opening day of the first unofficial Test in Mysore.
Edwards and Brathwaite came together in the third over of the morning at the early loss of opener Kieran Powell, who was dismissed by Mohammad Shami, after West Indies were asked to bat and put the visiting team in a position of strength with a strong stand.

As batsmen, Darren Bravo and Thisara Perera are as different as chalk is from cheese. Bravo is the consummate timer of the cricket ball, all easy grace, while Perera is the ultimate destroyer, giving it a mighty thwack with little disregard for such niceties as timing or elegance. The two left-hand batsmen made contrasting half-centuries at the PCA Stadium in Mohali on Tuesday (September 24) night as the Champions League Twenty20 sprang into life. Their thunder, though, almost was stolen by Sunil Narine, the offspinner with magic in his fingers who single-handedly threatened to turn this contest Trinidad & Tobago's way before Perera salvaged a thrilling four-wicket victory for Sunrisers Hyderabad with three balls to spare
