Probable Top Performers

Probable Best Batter: Leah Paul

Middle-order batter Leah Paul has been very effective for Ireland in the T20I series. The 25-year-old scored an unbeaten 79-run knock in the first game and is the leading run-scorer of the series so far. She will be hoping to keep up with the momentum, especially with the Women's Premier League auction around the corner.

Probable Best Bowler: Orla Prendergast

Orla Prendergast had a stunning 2024. In the ongoing T20I series against Bangladesh, the Ireland all-rounder picked up six wickets at an economy rate of 5.16 and is the leading wicket-taker of the series.

Bangladesh Women vs Ireland Women Betting Tips

Bangladesh Women to score over 17.5 before the first dismissal @ 1.85 Parimatch

Dilara Akter and Sobhana Mostary were virtually the only ones who performed well in the first match of the T20I series against Ireland Women, having added 103 runs to the first wicket together. Unfortunately, their partnership collapsed in the second over of the previous match, which resulted in a total of six runs. It is, however, worth noting that Akter and Mostary have averages of 29.50 and 23.50, respectively, in the tournament so far and will be relied upon to return in better shape for one final push.

Bangladesh Women vs Ireland Women Head-to-Head

Bangladesh Women and Ireland Women are nearly even in their last five head-to-head games as the former has three wins and the latter have emerged victorious twice.

Bangladesh Women to have a better opening partnership than Ireland Women

In the two matches so far, Bangladesh Women and Ireland Women have both had fluctuating, inconsistent opening partnerships. Amy Hunter and Gaby Lewis did not start on a positive note as they settled for a stand of 16 runs for Ireland Women in the first match. However, they improved a great deal in the second game, having amassed 34 runs together. On the other hand, Bangladesh Women's first wicket saw a tremendous decline in performance considering Dilara Akter and Sobhana Mostary scored 6 and 103 runs before the first dismissal. Nevertheless, the latter are expected to come back stronger in the final game of the series.
