Bangladesh Women are off to a flying start in their quest to qualify directly for the 2025 ODI World Cup. They’ve beaten Ireland Women in the first two ODIs on home soil, taking a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. The two sides meet again for the final ODI on Tuesday. Before this series began, Bangladesh needed five wins from their next six ODIs to book a direct World Cup spot. They’ve got two in the bag and can grab another in the last game. Ireland Women, meanwhile, have a tough task ahead of them, especially considering the slow pitches that favor spin.

Bangladesh Preview

In the second ODI played in Dhaka, Bangladesh Women put in another impressive effort. After limiting Ireland Women to 193-6, they reached their target with more than six overs left. Fargana Hoque anchored the chase, scoring a patient 50 off 89 balls. Sharmin Akhter and Nigar Sultana once again played key roles, each contributing 40-odd runs.

Ireland Preview

Ireland Women had a better day with the bat in the second ODI. Amy Hunter’s smooth 68 off 88 balls got Ireland to a respectable total. Orla Prendergast and Laura Delany also made useful contributions, both scoring in the 30s. Unfortunately, the other batters couldn’t get going. 

For Ireland to put up a stronger fight, captain Gaby Lewis and Sarah Forbes need to provide better starts to build a platform for a big total. 

Weather Conditions

The pitch at the Shere Bangla National Stadium is generally slower in nature, which gives spinners and slower bowlers an advantage. To succeed, batters will need to take their time to get used to the conditions and settle in at the crease before they can start playing aggressively. The spinners, meanwhile, can look forward to finding some slow turn on the wicket throughout the course of the game, which could be a major factor in determining the outcome. 

In terms of the weather, the forecast for Dhaka looks promising, with plenty of sunshine expected throughout the day, making it an ideal setting for a day of cricket.

BANW vs IREW Pitch Report

The Shere Bangla National Stadium has historically seen relatively low scores in women’s ODIs, with the average team total batting first being just 154. But Bangladesh Women’s dominant performance in the first ODI of this series, where they scored 252-4, has raised the bar for what’s possible at the venue. If Bangladesh get to bat first in the third ODI, they will likely try to post a total of around 240-250, which would give them a strong foundation to work from. Meanwhile, if Ireland are batting first, they will probably target a total in the range of 180-200, which would be a competitive score and give them a chance to put pressure on their opponents.

Toss: To Bat

Given the venue’s reputation for favoring the team that bats first, it’s probable that both captains will choose to take first strike.
