IND-W vs IRE-W, 18th Match Preview

The 18th game of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 will be played in Gqeberha at St George’s Park where mighty India-W take on a deflated Ireland-W side on February 20th, 2023. India-W have so far looked one of the most competitive sides in this year’s T20 World Cup edition. They have won 2 out of 3 games handsomely and would be a touch disappointed after losing out to England-W in the preceding fixture. They are currently ranked no.2 in the Group 2 points table sitting with a healthy NRR of 0.205. Ireland-W on the other hand seems to be running out of gas.
