TEAMS PREVIEW

Ireland Women Preview

Ireland skipper Laura Delany lead their team`s charge with the bat scoring 61 runs. Kavanagh (21 runs) and Richardon (19 runs) played crucial knocks while Orla Prendergast`s 13-ball 27 runs gave their team the late burst as they finished with 160/6 in the 20 overs.

Ireland bowlers never allowed any easy runs in the first power play and strangled them to 51/3 in 10 overs. Lara Maritz and Celeste Raack claimed 5 wickets between themselves in the middle overs while the trio of Leah Paul, Orla Pendergast, and Ava Canning bowled economically and put pressure on the opposition batters throughout the innings.

Top players to bet on:

Laura Delany – Delany scored 61 runs off 44 balls with 8 boundaries in the match. Her 69-run partnership with Kavangah was the difference between the two sides in the last game.   

Orla Prendergast: Prendergast’s contributions with the bat and ball tilted the match in their team`s favor. She scored 27 runs off 13 balls with the ball and then came back with bowling figures of 3-1-5-1 bowling in the power play.

Ireland Women Predicted Playing XI:

Rebecca Stokell, Gaby Lewis, Laura Delany (c), Shauna Kavanagh (wk), Orla Prendergast, Lara Maritz, Leah Paul, Celeste Raack, Ava Canning, Sophie MacMahon, Eimear Richardson

Netherlands Women Preview

Netherlands top-3 failed to get a big score and were dismissed after getting starts. Miranda Veringmeier (33 runs) and Rebine Rejike (30 runs) lead their chase with 30+ runs but got no support from other batters as they succumbed to 132/7 in the 20 overs. They need to score more quickly at the top to give momentum in the chase.

Netherlands bowlers lacked consistency and they gave away 160 runs in their 20 overs. Eva Lynch and Freddie Overdijk bowled well and claimed 4 wickets between them giving runs at less than 6 RPO. Isabel Woning and Silver Sigers picked up a wicket each in the match.

Top players to bet on:

Miranda Veringmeier – Miranda was the only player who looked in good touch with the bat scoring 33 runs off 15 balls with 5 boundaries and a six. We expect her to continue her good form with the bat in this match too.  

Freddie Overdijk – Overdijk had bowling figures of 4-0-24-2 and scored 19 runs with the bat in the last game. She needs to attack more at the top with the bat while her bowling was top class.

Netherlands Women Predicted Playing XI:

Heather Siegers (c), Babette de Leede (wk), Annemijn van Beuge, Eva Lynch, Frederique Overdijk, Iris Zwilling, Isabel van der Woning, Juliet Post, Miranda Veringmeier, Robine Rijke, Silver Siegers.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Dublin will have cloudy and overcast conditions with 40-50% chances of rain as per weather forecasters. But, we expect rain to make a short appearance (reduce overs maybe) in this match.

Venue Details

Malahide pitch was good to bat on in the last game with batters taking advantage of the bowlers. Bowlers need to execute their plans to perfection on this track. We expect the average scores around 150-160 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bat

The pitch slowed down as the match progressed and batters found it hard to time the ball in second innings. We expect both captains to bat first if they win the toss.
