Australia (w)
Ireland (w)
After facing a series defeat against England in the three-match ODI series by 2-1, Australia Women are now touring Ireland for a three-match ODI series. The first ODI was abandoned between the two teams because of the interruption by rains and now the second ODI is scheduled to take place on Tuesday at Castle Avenue, Dublin, Ireland.
Ireland women are coming home after touring West Indies and facing series defeat in T20 and ODI formats. The team will be motivated to a positive start against the Australian women. The top bookmakers in India have some amazing odds for women’s cricket on their websites.
Australia women also witnessed series defeats in ODI and T20 series against England. The world champions have witnessed a slight dip in their performance but a positive start against Ireland is expected from the visitors.
Australia (w)Ireland (w)Ireland Women will be under the leadership of Laura Delany and her team will require a great deal of effort and determination in the upcoming ODI series. Delany will be aware of the quality of the opposition and she will be in the process to prepare her team for the same. Gaby Lewis and Amy Hunter will be expected to give the team a good start with Orla Prendergast and Arlene Kelly responsible to score runs in the middle order. Orla Prendergast can also be deadly in bowling and she will be partnered with Ava Canning.
There are no injuries in the camp of Ireland and Delany will have the best possible playing XI for the 2nd ODI.
Predicted Lineup: Laura Delany (c), Leah Paul, Gaby Lewis, Orla Prendergast, Amy Hunter, Rebecca Stokell, Mary Waldron (wk), Arlene Kelly, Aimee Maguire, Ava Canning, Cara Murray
Alyssa Healy will be leading Australia’s women's squad and she will be under pressure to start the series with a win. She has already failed against England and now her captaincy will be under scrutiny. Phobe Litchfield will be starting the match with the skipper and Beth Mooney and Ellyse Perry will be the key players in the middle order. Ellyse Perry will also be expected to perform well with the bowl and her partner will be Darcie Brown.
Megan Schutt and Ashleigh Gardner will be part of the team and their bowling experience in bowling will be useful.
Predicted Lineup: Alyssa Healy (c & wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath, Ashleigh Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, Jess Jonassen, Georgia Wareham, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown
Australia has a good depth in their batting with Healy, Litchfield, Perry, and Sutherland in good form. Ireland bowlers will face difficulty in front of Australian batting brilliance. We predict a win for Australia in the 2nd ODI on Tuesday against Ireland.
