Team Previews
Ireland Women Preview
Ireland Women enter this contest with a well-balanced unit, though their recent performances have exposed vulnerabilities in the top order. Amy Hunter, the wicketkeeper-batter, is in fine touch, scoring 48 in the last match with classy stroke play. Laura Delany and Coulter Reilly also chipped in with valuable contributions in the middle order.
Skipper Gaby Lewis will be expected to lead from the front with her experience and composure. Their batting lineup has depth but requires consistency to put pressure on the more disciplined Bangladesh bowlers.
In the bowling unit, Jane Maguire was the standout with figures of 3/35 in the previous game. Arlene Kelly, Ava Canning, and Orla Prendergast form a formidable pace attack, while Cara Murray adds spin variety. The Irish side has shown grit but needs a collective batting performance to overcome Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Women Preview
Bangladesh Women are coming off a strong performance, particularly in the batting department. Skipper Nigar Sultana led by example, scoring a majestic century laced with 15 fours and a six. She was brilliantly supported by Sharmin Akhter, who remained unbeaten on 94, and Fargana Hoque, who contributed 53 runs at the top.
With such a top-heavy batting display, Bangladesh are looking confident. Their spin attack, led by Fahima Khatun and Jannatul Ferdus, dismantled the opposition in the last match with 5 wickets each. Marufa Akter and Rabeya Khan add further bowling strength, making it a well-rounded squad.
Their strength lies in their ability to build partnerships and maintain pressure with disciplined bowling. However, their lower middle-order remains slightly untested, and that could be an area Ireland might target.
