Bangladesh Women (BAN-W) will take on the Gaby Lewis-led Ireland Women (IRE-W) in the first ODI of the three-match series. The game will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on November 27, at 9:30 AM. Both teams have been through different journeys in their last five ODIs, which makes this game a must-win clash for both.

Nigar Sultana’s Bangladesh Women have been struggling with a miserable run of form in their last five ODIs, facing five consecutive defeats. In the last ODI they played, BAN-W lost to Australia Women (AUS-W) by a big 8-wicket margin earlier this year. They will aim to end their losing streak with a win in this game.

On the other hand, Ireland Women (IRE-W) are coming off a 3-wicket win (DLS Method) against the mighty England Women two months back in September. Ireland Women have won two games while losing three in their last five ODI games. They will look ahead to continue with their winning momentum after the win against England Women.

Will be added when there is an update

The wicket of the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur is known for its bowling-friendly deck, especially in the first half of the game. The bowlers [mostly spinners] are expected to dominate here in the initial phase of the game. The average score here has been 210 runs; so, the toss-winning skipper will look ahead to bowl first to chase the target under batting-friendly conditions.
