Despite Ireland's impressive win in the third WODI, England remains the stronger side overall, even with a second-string squad. This WT20I series promises exciting cricket, with England aiming to assert their dominance and Ireland hoping to continue their newfound confidence.

Teams Preview

Ireland Women Preview

Ireland Women pulled off a thrilling last-ball victory in the third WODI, preventing a clean sweep and providing a huge confidence boost. However, their top order has been inconsistent, and they’ll need better contributions to challenge England.

Orla Prendergast was one of the standout performers in the series, scoring 87 runs across three matches. Gaby Lewis, after a slow start, found her form with a crucial 72 in the final WODI. Ireland’s bowling also showed promise, with Aimee Maguire’s five-wicket haul being instrumental in their last win. Freya Sargent has been another key bowler, consistently breaking partnerships.

Predicted Playing XI:

• Una Raymond-Hoey

• Gaby Lewis (c)

• Amy Hunter

• Orla Prendergast

• Leah Paul

• Rebecca Stokell

• Arlene Kelly

• Alice Tector

• Jane Maguire

• Freya Sargent

• Aimee Maguire

England Women Preview

England Women dominated the first two WODIs, but the third match saw them lose momentum due to rain interruptions. Despite fielding a second-string lineup for the T20I series, England remains the favorite. Tammy Beaumont was the standout player in the WODIs, scoring 212 runs across three matches, including a magnificent 150 in the second game.

England’s bowling has also been effective, regularly picking up wickets and restricting Ireland’s run flow. Kate Cross led the bowling attack with the most wickets in the series, and although Freya Kemp will be unavailable for the WT20Is, this presents an opportunity for younger players to shine.

Predicted Playing XI:

• Georgia Adams

• Tammy Beaumont

• Hollie Armitage

• Paige Scholfield

• Mahika Gaur

• Seren Smale

• Mady Villiers

• Kate Cross (c)

• Ryana MacDonald-Gay

• Issy Wong

• Hannah Baker
