IND-W vs IREW Match Prediction & Analysis
We are in the second game of the three-match series, and India Women would be eying a series win after winning the first game by 6 wickets. It was a clinical performance by the hosts where they troubled Ireland Women with the ball and followed it up with a good batting performance. It will be a big test against all odds for Ireland Women, and they must do their best to win this contest.
Ireland Women have never won against India Women in ODIs, and they must overcome a mental obstacle to win and keep the series alive. Their recent form in the ODIs doesn’t inspire much confidence. The Indians have done well at home and have their top order in good form. It will be interesting to see if Ireland Women can register their maiden win against India in this format.
TEAMS PREVIEW
India Preview
Smriti Mandhana, who has recently taken over the captaincy, will be proud of how her side played in the last game. It was a perfect show with the bat and the ball, and they used the conditions to their advantage. Mandhana would like the players to build on this form and win the series in the second game.
Pratika Rawal batted brilliantly in the last game and will look to deliver a good start with skipper Smriti Mandhana. Harleen Deol will look to anchor the innings in the middle order and add runs with Jemimah Rodrigues and Tejal Hasabnis. Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma add strength to the batting lineup in the lower middle order.
Ireland Preview
Gaby Lewis and her team will be under pressure in this game. It was a sub-par batting performance from the team in the last game, where the top and middle order failed to deliver the goods. The side will look to make a strong comeback and level the series as the Indians will come hard at them.
Gaby Lewis led from the front in the last game and was unlucky to have missed out on a hundred. She looks forward to delivering a good start with Sarah Forbes. The middle order had a poor outing in the last game, and the team needs partnerships between Una Raymond-Hoey, Orla Prendergast, and Laura Delany. Leah Paul and Coulter Reilly must add runs in the lower middle order.
Weather Conditions
Rajkot will see a warm morning. We expect a flat wicket where batsmen can play their strokes easily. Spinners will enjoy bowling on this track, and the side batting first will aim to have 270 runs on the board.

Toss: To Bat
The wicket will become tricky to bat on as the game progresses. Most teams have won games at this venue, chasing scores. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first in this game.
