Ireland Women vs Sri Lanka Women Match Prediction, 3rd ODI – Who will win today’s match?

In this article we will be analyzing the Ireland Women vs Sri Lanka Women Match Prediction. The final ODI of the three-match series between Ireland Women and Sri Lanka Women will be played at the Civil Service Cricket Club on August 20, 2024.

Before the commencement of the ODI series, even the most optimistic Irish supporters wouldn’t have expected to come even close to giving Sri Lanka Women a run for their money, let alone win two on the spin.

Ireland Women, currently ranked 11th in the ICC Women’s ODI Team Rankings, have won both their games in the series, which were also their first couple of victories against the islanders in the 50-over format.

With the series in the bag and the third ODI to be played within a gap of 24 hours from the second one, a few changes might be expected in the XIs of both the sides. However, there might also be a possibility of the teams sticking with their squads to maintain momentum.

Ireland Women vs Sri Lanka Women Match Details

Pitch Report

The Civil Service Cricket Club provides a good contest between bat and ball. Batters must give themselves some time in the middle to settle down and get accustomed to the behaviour of the pitch before growing into their innings. Like the previous couple of games, pacers are expected to gain significant assistance with the new ball and the spinners will get into the game as it progresses, especially in the second innings.
