BAN-W vs IRE-W 2nd T20I: All you need to know, playing XI, head to head
Bangladesh Women will square off against Ireland Women in the second T20I of their ongoing three-match series on Saturday at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet. Ireland currently lead the series 1-0 after clinching a thrilling 12-run victory in the first match. This series is crucial for both teams, as it provides valuable preparation for future assignments.
In the opening game, Ireland Women thumped Bangladesh Women, emerging victorious by 12 runs, with their bowlers and batters playing a key role in the victory. Ireland’s disciplined bowling attack restricted Bangladesh to 157/7 in 20 overs in their chase of 169 posted by Ireland in 20 overs for the loss of five wickets. Despite impressive performances from Dilara Akter and Sobhana Mostary, Bangladesh failed to chase down the total.
Heading into the second game, Bangladesh's top-order batters will again be key as they hope to level the series. The team will look to improve their fielding and adapt quickly to the challenges posed by the Irish side.
On the other hand, Ireland will be buoyed by their strong all-round performance in the first match. The second T20I holds significant importance for Bangladesh. A loss for them would mean that the series is effectively out of their reach, but a win will keep them alive in the contest and set up a thrilling decider in the third match. For Ireland, winning the second game would give them a dominant 2-0 lead, making the final an opportunity for them to experiment with their lineup.
