West Indies vs Ireland, Women's T20 World Cup 2023: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details
West Indies Women will face Ireland Women in the 13th match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 on Friday, February 17. Newlands in Cape Town will host this Group B clash.
West Indies Women have played two games in the competition so far and have lost both. They lost to England Women in their first game and failed to bounce back as they lost to India Women in their next fixture.
Batting first, Stafanie Taylor top-scored with 42 but a lack of big partnerships resulted in them posting only 118 on the board. Karishma Ramharack picked up two wickets but the other bowlers failed to create further inroads as they were unsuccessful in defending the total. West Indies will be hoping to grab their first win on Friday.
Ireland Women also haven’t had the best of starts to the T20 World Cup 2023. They have played two games and are yet to win a single game. Ireland suffered a heavy loss against Pakistan Women in their previous game.
Bowling first, the Irish bowlers struggled to keep a check on the scoring rate as Pakistan Women posted 165 on the board. The batters then faltered in the chase as they got knocked over on 95 to lose the game by 70 runs.
Ireland Women will be hoping to put a much-improved performance in the game against West Indies Women.
