Team Previews

Ireland Women Preview

Ireland Women are still hunting for their first big win in this qualifier. Despite a competitive show against Pakistan, where they restricted the hosts to 217 and scored 179 in response, they failed to capitalize on their start. Their top-order batting showed promise—Gaby Lewis and Amy Hunter each scored 44, while Orla Prendergast added 37 with smart stroke play. The concern remains with their middle and lower order, which hasn’t yet provided adequate support.

In the bowling department, Jane Maguire led from the front with a superb 3-wicket haul, while Arlene Kelly and Cara Murray also chipped in with two wickets apiece. The Irish bowlers have adapted well to subcontinental conditions, keeping things tight and building pressure.

For Ireland to challenge West Indies, they will need consistent runs from their top four and a bit more resilience in the middle overs. Their bowling unit looks in decent shape and could make things interesting if they strike early.

West Indies Women Preview

West Indies Women started their World Cup Qualifier campaign with a narrow 12-run loss against Scotland. Despite Hayley Matthews scoring a sublime unbeaten 114, they could only reach 233 in response to Scotland’s 245. The lack of contributions from the rest of the batting lineup was alarming, as only Zaida James (45) looked settled at the crease.

The Windies will look for strong performances from seasoned names like Shemaine Campbelle, Stafanie Taylor, and Chinelle Henry. Campbelle, who has been consistent in her last 10 games, is expected to bounce back in this match.

Bowling-wise, Matthews again did the heavy lifting, grabbing 4 wickets, while Aaliyah Alleyne and Karishma Ramharack provided decent support. West Indies would aim to be more clinical in the field and ensure they do not rely solely on Matthews for both batting and bowling dominance.
