WIW vs IREW Match Preview
Skipper Hayley Matthews has led her team from the front, contributing with the bat as well as the ball. She is the top run-scorer as well as the leading wicket-taker for the hosts in the T20 series and will play an important role here. She will be supported by Rashada Williams as an opening partner.
The likes of Shabika Gajnabi, Shemaine Campbelle, Zaida James, and Chinelle Henry add stability to the middle order. In addition to Hayley Matthews, the spin attack will feature Afy Fletcher as well as Ashmini Munisar, while the pace attack consists of Shamilia Connell, Chinelle Henry, and CA Fraser.
Gaby Lewis was in particularly good form in the ODIs for Ireland Women but has failed to replicate the same form here. Skipper Laura Delany as well as all-rounders Orla Prendergast and Arlene Kelly make up the middle order.
One of the biggest weaknesses for Ireland has been that it is lacking in depth of batting. In case the top 3 or 4 batsmen are dismissed early, the tail is exposed pretty quickly. Coming to the bowling, Ava Canning and Louise Little are the two main seamers on the team and will be helped by Prendergast and Kelly.
Weather Report
There is a forecast for rain here, which can lead to delays or interruptions.
Pitch Report
The pitch at the Daren Sammy Stadium is not the easiest to bat on. The average first-inning score here is around 115, which is a par score. The quicker bowlers will get some assistance early in the match and the batters will have to settle down before playing the big shots.
Notable stats
Laura Delany’s all-round performance
