Women’s T20I Tri-Series 2022, Ireland Women vs Australia Women, Match 2: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

The T20I tri-series between hosts Ireland, Australia and Pakistan got underway on July 16 and the second match will see the home team in action for the first time in the tournament. They will face World Champions Australia, who played their first game against Pakistan which was washed out with only eight overs of action possible.

The tri-series is being looked at as perfect preparation for the team ahead of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, which is scheduled to commence on July 28.

This series is also a great opportunity for Ireland to test themselves against the top teams. Having said that, it will not be easy for them by any means to beat Meg Lanning and Co. given the strength the Aussie side possess. However, they will be riding on their confidence after a high-octane series against South Africa.

Meanwhile, Australia will be confident of having a good outing. Their bowlers showed their class in only eight overs of action against Pakistan, where they scalped six wickets while conceding just 56 runs. If the rain stays away, the world champions should be expected to stamp their authority this time around.
