Ireland will play their opening match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2023 against one of the tournament’s top teams, England. They will play strong teams like India, Pakistan, and the West Indies. On the other hand, England enjoyed a great start to the competition, winning their opening match against the West Indies.

Ireland Women are having a difficult time at this significant cricket event. To advance to the semi-finals, they must defeat the top teams in T20 cricket. This encounter versus England will be a significant test for Ireland. If they can win this match, it would be a massive boost for them, and they can easily play other strong teams like the West Indies, India, and Pakistan.

England Women are a powerful squad that got the competition off to a good start. They had defeated the West Indies by a score of seven wickets in their opening match. They lost the toss and fielded first in this low-scoring encounter. The way their batting order played in the last game was just fantastic. They gave away 135 runs in 20 overs against the West Indies’ powerful batting line. Sophie Ecclestone was their most successful and highest wicket-taker, taking three wickets in four overs for 23 runs.
