This will be Ireland Women’s opening fixture of the T20 World Cup 2023. They are having a very good time in the shortest format. Ireland Women lost a hard-fought contest against Sri Lanka Women in their first warm-up fixture but beat the mighty Australia Women in their next warm-up game.
Laura Delany will be leading the Irish side in the World Cup. They have some exciting players in Gaby Lewis, Leah Paul and Mary Waldron who will be looking to step up in the global event. They will have to be at their absolute best while facing England Women on Monday.
England Women, meanwhile, faced West Indies Women in their first game. A solid all-round effort saw them beat the Caribbean side by seven wickets to get their campaign off to a winning start.
Sophie Ecclestone picked up three wickets to restrict West Indies Women to 135/7. Contributions from their batters saw them chase down the total comfortably.
