Match Preview
It is going to be an interesting match-up tomorrow as Ireland Women face England Women in the 6th game of the tournament.
Also, this is going to be Ireland Women’s first major ICC tournament and they have to beat the best and strongest side of this tournament.
Along with England, Ireland also has to face stiff competition from India, Pakistan, and West Indies.
Meanwhile, England Women have kickstarted their tournament very well with a win over West Indies women.
For Ireland, Laura Delany is their skipper and it will be a huge task for her and her team to beat England women in their very first game.
On the other hand, Ireland has the likes of Amy Hunter, Shauna Kavanagh, Gaby Lewis, Louise Little, and Leah Paul.
England, on the other hand, won a comfortable first game against the West Indies by 7 wickets. Sophie Ecclestone was at her best as she took four wickets and gave only 23 runs.
