Women's T20 WC: England Look To Build Momentum As Ireland Seek First Win (Preview)
T20 World Cup: Ireland will be aiming to recover from an opening defeat when they take on Group B leaders England in their Women's T20 World Cup clash on Tuesday at The Rose Bowl, which pits one of the tournament's early strugglers against one of its most dominant teams so far.
Ireland head into the fixture after a 40-run loss to Scotland. Chasing 162, they found themselves on the back foot after losing Alana Dalzell and captain Gaby Lewis inside the Powerplay. Amy Hunter and Orla Prendergast briefly revived the chase with a partnership that kept hopes alive, but both fell at crucial moments as Ireland were eventually bowled out for 121.
Hunter has been Ireland's standout batter in the competition with 39 runs, while Ava Canning impressed with the ball in the opener, picking up three wickets.
