ICC Women's World Twenty20: title up for grabs in absence of clear-cut favourite

England Women begin their bid to wrestle back the ICC Women's World Twenty20 crown from Australia when they take on the West Indies on Monday.

England begin their campaign against one of their main rivals for the title, the West Indies. Who else will post a threat? Isa: The West Indies have got a very good spin attack with the likes of Shaquana Quintyne, Anisa Mohammed and Shanel Daley in the squad - plus, of course, Stafanie Taylor. Depending on the pitch, England might well look to attack their seamers a little bit more. But their main threat remains Deandra Dottin, who is the star attraction of the whole tournament. She scored 78not out against Australia and if you don't get her out early she has the capability to decimate a bowling attack. She can hit sixes at will and likes to start with a boundary, so she'll be England's primary threat. It will be interesting to see how Charlotte uses Anya against her because she could be key. If she does save her for the middle overs to bowl at Dottin, Anya will still need to extract movement otherwise Dottin can easily get her hands through the ball. That will be an interesting contest. Danni Hazell has been excellent in the six months; she has the ability to change her pace and has been flighting it a little bit more. She conceded only five runs off three overs against New Zealand and is certainly one person that England can rely on. Who are your favourites to win? Isa: I wouldn't say there is a clear-cut favourite this time - I think it's really open. Australia stand a really good chance of defending their title but it will be interesting to see how India play, because they've got a point to prove after their early exit from the one-day World Cup. Conditions should suit the quality spinners in their line-up but whether they've got the firepower in the batting to get up to decent scores remains to be seen. Then there's Sri Lanka, who have proved on a number of occasions that they are very capable of putting up a fight. The West Indies have a very good chance because this is a format that suits them - and they've got several hard-hitting batsmen and a good spin attack. It will be interesting to see how England play against spin because in the last few games in Australia that was an area they needed to improve because they got bogged down a lot; they struggled to penetrate the field and hit enough boundaries. But hopefully the girls will do well! It will take a real team effort to get to the final and win.
