THE LOWDOWN

ENGLAND WOMEN

• England will have been happy with their start to the tournament, comfortably beating West Indies by seven wickets, chasing down 136 with 5.3 overs remaining.
• Two experienced campaigners in Nat Sciver-Brunt and captain Heather Knight helped England stroll home with an unbroken partnership of 67.

IRELAND WOMEN

• Ireland face formidable opposition to begin their T20 World Cup group-stage campaign, taking on close neighbours England.
• One player who Ireland can no longer call upon is 26-year-old Kim Garth, who after having represented the Girls in Green from the age of 14, now plays for Australia.

THE PREDICTION

Ireland shocked England in the men’s T20 World Cup group stage last October back in Australia, but if the Ireland women managed to defeat England here at the same stage of the women’s T20 World Cup, it would be seen as a truly seismic moment for Irish cricket when considering the gap between the two nations in terms of resources and player depth. England will rightly be expected to pick up an easy win, as they did successfully against West Indies last time out. But Ireland will give as good as they’ve got and will no doubt relish playing the role of underdog.
