Team Previews
Bangladesh Women Preview
Bangladesh Women enter this match on the back of a dominant 3-0 victory in the ODI series, which has significantly boosted their confidence. Despite their struggles in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, the team is optimistic about their prospects in this format, with skipper Nigar Sultana and spinner Nahida Akter being pivotal to their chances.

Ireland Women Preview
Ireland Women have faced challenges recently, including a 3-0 ODI series loss. However, they have shown promise in T20 cricket, having drawn a series against England Women earlier. The onus will be on players like Amy Hunter and Arlene Kelly to guide the team with bat and ball, respectively. A strong start in this T20I series could help them rebuild confidence.
- Key Players: Amy Hunter, Arlene Kelly, Orla Prendergast
- Strengths: Decent batting depth and fighting spirit.
- Weaknesses: Struggles against spin and adapting to subcontinent conditions.
