Team Previews

India Women Preview

India Women enter this series as overwhelming favorites, ranked 3rd on the ICC Women’s ODI Team Rankings. With a dominant 3-0 series win against West Indies Women, they boast excellent form.

The batting unit, led by Smriti Mandhana, is deep and strong. Harleen Deol, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Deepti Sharma add stability and firepower. In the bowling department, Deepti Sharma and young pacer Titas Sadhu are expected to lead the attack.

India’s familiarity with home conditions, combined with their superior squad depth, makes them a daunting challenge for Ireland.

Strengths:

A strong batting lineup with experienced players.
A balanced bowling attack featuring both spin and pace options.

Weaknesses:

Overdependence on top-order batters for large totals.

Ireland Women Preview

Ireland Women, ranked 11th in ODIs, face an uphill battle. Coming off a 3-0 series loss to Bangladesh Women in ODIs, they will rely heavily on players like Gaby Lewis and Laura Delany to challenge the hosts.

While the batting lineup, spearheaded by Lewis, has potential, their bowling lacks consistency to trouble India’s experienced batters. The Irish team must focus on improving their fielding and executing their plans to avoid a repeat of their recent struggles.

Strengths:

Promising young batters like Gaby Lewis.
Decent all-round contributions from Orla Prendergast and Arlene Kelly.

Weaknesses:

Lack of depth in bowling and experience in handling high-pressure situations.
