Ireland Women and Pakistan Women are ready to lock horns in the first T20I of the three-match series, scheduled to be played on Wednesday at Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast. Ireland Women are riding high on success following their recent success against Zimbabwe Women in the three-match T20I series.

Pakistan Women, on the other hand, have a full-strength squad and would look to challenge Ireland in Ireland. Players like Sidra Amin, Fatima Sana, Muneeba Ali and Nashra Sundhu will be expected to step up and play their key roles for Pakistan.
