TEAMS PREVIEW
Ireland Women Preview
Ireland Women will be gearing up for the second warm-up game of the T20 World Cup 2026. They lost the opening warmup fixture to South Africa. The Irish girls failed to chase 137 and bowled out on 120 runs. They slipped from 74-4 to 120 all-out.
Ireland would now take on Bangladesh in the next assignment. They have beaten Asian giants three times in ten games. Ireland made a solid preparation for the event as they hosted West Indies and Pakistan for the tri-series. They won two out of three games. It boosted their morale. They also chased down 177 runs against Pakistan.
Ireland have match winners who can change the game within a few balls. Gaby Lewis could be a player to watch out for. The skipper scored more than 3000 runs in the format. She scored 276 runs in the global qualifiers this year. We back her to score above 30 runs in the game. Amy Hunter is also a solid player with the bat.
Ireland Women Predicted Playing XI:
Arlene Kelly, Alana Dalzell, Rebecca Stokell, Orla Prendergast(c), Leah Paul, Alice Tector, Louise Little, Coulter Reilly(w), Ava Canning, Lara McBride, Cara Murray

IREW vs BANW Pitch Report
The pitch at Haslegrave Ground is a challenging surface. In both warm-up games, chasing was a bit difficult. Pacers get extra help from the surface. Spin assistance will also be there in the middle overs. In the last five matches, the average first innings score is 124.
Score prediction:
If Bangladesh Women bat first - 150-160 runs
If Ireland Women bat first - 140-150 runs
Toss: To Bat
In the last five women’s T20I on this surface, chasing sides won the matches two times. In the previous two warm-up games, the chasing sides lost both games. The pitch gets slower as the match progresses. The new ball will be effective. Both teams have had better results while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well.
Toss Prediction: Bangladesh Women to win the coin toss.
IREW vs BANW
