Team Previews
Bangladesh Women Preview
Bangladesh Women had an excellent start to the series, winning the first ODI comfortably by 154 runs. Sharmin Akhter was the star performer with a brilliant knock of 96 runs, supported by Fargana Hoque and Murshida Khatun, who laid a strong foundation at the top. With Nigar Sultana adding stability in the middle order, Bangladesh’s batting lineup looks formidable.
Their bowling attack was exceptional, with Marufa Akter, Sultana Khatun, and Nahida Akter claiming eight wickets collectively. The spin-friendly conditions in Dhaka perfectly complement their bowling strengths. Heading into the second game, Bangladesh Women will aim to maintain their dominance with both bat and ball.
- Key Players: Sharmin Akhter, Nigar Sultana, Marufa Akter
Ireland Women Preview
Ireland Women struggled to adapt to the conditions in the first ODI, being bowled out for a paltry 98 while chasing 255. Sarah Forbes, Orla Prendergast, and Laura Delany showed glimpses of promise but couldn’t convert their starts into meaningful contributions. Gaby Lewis, a key player in this lineup, will need to lead from the front alongside Leah Paul, who has been consistent in recent matches.
On the bowling front, Ireland lacked penetration. Arlene Kelly and Freya Sargent must improve their lines and lengths to trouble the Bangladeshi batters. Adjusting quickly to the spin-friendly conditions will be critical for Ireland if they hope to level the series.
- Key Players: Gaby Lewis, Leah Paul, Arlene Kelly
