The 3-match ODI series is expected to be a thrilling contest between the two teams. In women’s cricket, the two teams are arch-rivals and over a period of time, they have built a rivalry among themselves.
Bangladesh women are coming back in action after their early exit in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in October. It was not a positive tournament for Bangladesh Women and the team is in need of a fresh start. Check out the match prediction for the 1st fixture between the two teams.
Bangladesh Women were part of Group B and they finished the group stage at the 4th spot. They managed to score a single win but witnessed 3 losses in the tournament and were eliminated after the last fixture which was against South Africa Women.
Ireland Women failed to qualify for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. They had a disappointing season and a failure to qualify for the tournament will hurt them a long way.
Ireland was last seen in action playing a 2-match T20 series against England in the month of September. It was a commendable performance where the series ended up as a draw and Ireland women bounced back immediately after a defeat in the first fixture.
The two teams have been struggling when it comes to international cricket but they both have some good players who can turn things around for the team. Bangladesh women have an advantage of playing at home and Ireland has an advantage of a good batting lineup.
