THE LOWDOWN

IRELAND WOMEN

• As expected, England proved too strong for Ireland on this past Monday, but Ireland didn’t go down without a fight, taking six English wickets in an attempt to defend what was an under-par score.
• It was always going to be difficult for Ireland to keep England below the 105 all out that they managed, but provided they can improve with the bat here, then a similar bowling performance will put them in with a chance of victory.

PAKISTAN WOMEN

• Although losing against bitter rivals India will have hurt, Pakistan really can take pride in how hard they pushed their opponents with India only reaching their victory target with an over to spare.
• Most impressive from Pakistan’s perspective was the performance of their skipper Bismah Maroof, who struck 68 not out and looked extremely strong against what was a dangerous Indian bowling attack.

THE PREDICTION

Although both these two sides tasted defeat in their first group matches, there were clear signs of optimism on each side, which should lead to a fascinating encounter between the two at Newlands. Whilst Ireland cannot be discounted as proved by their bowling performance against England, the extra firepower of Pakistan with the willow compared to their opponents may well make the difference, so consider backing Maroof’s side to gain victory.
