This match will be one that Ireland see as an opportunity to knock over an inexperienced and untested English lineup.
Preview
After clinching the three-match ODI series by 2-1, the England Women are set to face the hosts Ireland Women in the first T20I of the two-match series. The game will be played at Castle Avenue in Dublin. The game will be crucial for both teams to gain momentum in the two-match T20I series.
Notably, the Irish Women are coming off a narrow 3-wicket win against Kate Cross’s English side. They will be confident of securing a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. Gaby Lewis and her girls have had a good run of form in the last five T20Is they played, winning three and losing two.
On the other hand, the England women are unbeaten in their last five women’s T20Is. However, the English camp’s confidence could be dented, as they failed to clean-sweep Ireland in the recently concluded three-match ODI series. The English women will be looking to gain back their winning momentum, which they enjoyed in the first two matches of the ODI series.
As the team gears up for the upcoming clash, all eyes will be on the thrilling competition set to unfold on the cricket field.
