India’s dominant victory in the series opener had a minor wrinkle though, as their bowling unit found it challenging to create inroads through Ireland’s batting during the middle overs. This is one area the hosts will be eager to improve upon as they eye a series-clinching win. However, their batting performance was nothing short of spectacular. Smriti Mandhana exhibited her trademark elegance and mastery with the willow, while the emergence of young Pratika Rawal was a delightful revelation. The 24-year-old opener complemented Mandhana beautifully at the top of the order, earning well-deserved praise for her composed innings. Though the middle order wasn’t severely tested, they showed enough intent and capability with Tejal Hasabnis contributing with a fifty as well, suggesting they’re well-prepared for any challenging situations that might arise in today’s encounter.

While we await this crucial clash, you can switch tabs and follow the series opener ODI of the Women’s Ashes as well. Australia has bossed up the proceedings with the ball and limited England Women to a below-par total of just 204 runs. Talk about a bowling dominance that prevented the English side from playing their allotted 50 overs. It was a collective bowling effort by the Aussies with most of them chipping in with a couple of wickets, but Ashleigh Gardener was the pick of them all with a superb 3-fer. England’s batting struggles have surfaced as none of their batters could cross the 40-run mark. Skipper Heather Knight, Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Amy Jones did get starts but could not convert them into substantial ones. However, the run chase got a bit spiced up as England reduced Australia from a commanding 104/2 to 124/4. Alyssa Healy did provide a strong foundation with her fifty. She has got responsible support from Ashleigh Gardner and the two have formed a substantial 5th wicket partnership, neutralizing any further fall of wickets so far.

Ireland Women (Playing XI) – Gaby Lewis (C), Sarah Forbes, Christina Coulter Reilly (WK), Orla Prendergast, Laura Delany, Leah Paul, Ava Canning (In for Aimee Maguire), Georgina Dempsey, Arlene Kelly, Alana Dalzell (In for Una Raymond-Hoey), Freya Sargent.

TOSS UPDATE – The flip of the coin lands in the favor of India Women and Smriti Mandhana has elected to BAT first.

However, the run chase has just gotten a bit spiced up as England has reduced Australia from a commanding 104/2 to 124/4. Alyssa Healy did provide a strong foundation with her fifty. But with more than 20 overs remaining, and the runs required in double digits, the hosts are in a very strong position. But you never know what’s in store as it’s a game full of uncertainties. However, with the kind of batting depth the hosts possess, it’s still Australia’s game to lose from here.

India Women have taken a commanding lead in the 3-ODI series against Ireland Women, winning the first match convincingly. The Irish team posted a total of 238 runs, but India’s batting unit proved to be too strong, led by Pratika Rawal’s impressive 89 runs. Smriti Mandhana and Tejal Hasabnis also made notable contributions to the team’s score, securing a comfortable victory for India. The Irish bowlers struggled to contain India’s batting, unable to make a significant impact on the game. As a result, the match became a one-sided affair, with India dominating the proceedings. Despite the convincing win, Smriti Mandhana expressed her disappointment with the team’s fielding efforts, indicating that there is still room for improvement. For Ireland Women to level the series, they will need to see significant contributions from their batters beyond Gaby Lewis and Leah Paul, who have been their mainstays. The duo forged a crucial partnership in the previous contest, but they need others to step up and support them. Additionally, the Irish team will be looking to improve their running between the wickets, having been involved in a couple of mix-ups in the previous match. As the series moves forward, Ireland will be determined to make life more difficult for the hosts. They will be looking to bounce back from their defeat and cause an upset. On the other hand, India will be aiming to clinch the series with a game to spare, maintaining their momentum and dominance.

The gap in experience was evident in Ireland’s bowling performance, particularly as they grappled with unfamiliar Indian conditions for the first time. While the hosts also field a relatively young bowling attack, the tables could turn as Ireland’s seasoned batters look to capitalize on this inexperience in the Indian ranks. Can Ireland adapt quickly and show marked improvement in their second outing? Or will the Women in Blue maintain their dominance and seal the series with another commanding display? We’ll find out soon as we await the toss and team announcements. So, grab your coffee, sit back and relax as we are just few moments away from all the action. 

Despite losing early wickets and finding themselves in a precarious position, Ireland Women showed remarkable fighting spirit with the bat. The cornerstone of their resistance was an impressive centurion partnership between Gaby Lewis and Leah Paul. Their ability to bat through the full quota of overs demonstrated commendable resilience and provided a silver lining to build upon. In this encounter, Ireland will be looking for more substantial contributions from key players like Orla Prendergast and skipper Laura Delany to strengthen their middle-order performance. However, their most pressing concern lies in the bowling department, where they struggled to contain the Indian batters and leaked runs at an alarming rate while defending.

The 24-year-old opener complemented Mandhana beautifully at the top of the order, earning well-deserved praise for her composed innings. Though the middle order wasn’t severely tested, they showed enough intent and capability during their brief stint at the crease, suggesting they’re well-prepared for any challenging situations that might arise in today’s encounter.
