Ireland vs Australia: Ireland will face Australia in the first ODI of the Australia Tour of Ireland on July 23 at Castle Avenue in Dublin. Ireland have been in poor form recently, having lost four of their past five matches. Australia, on the other hand, have won three of their last five matches and are anticipated to keep up their excellent record.
Ireland faced West Indies in a previous encounter in which Ireland won the toss and decided to bat. Ireland got off to a good start, but they lost a couple of wickets in the first powerplay. Gaby Lewis appeared to be in fantastic form and played some stunning shots, but she was unable to finish her century. Her innings contributed to Ireland’s respectable total of 203.
West Indies forfeited a wicket early on, but they had some good partnerships that kept them on course. The match was easily won by six wickets with nine overs to spare thanks to an undefeated fifth wicket stand of 110 runs.
Australia had previously played against England, in which Australia won the toss and chose to field. England got off to a shaky start, losing two wickets for a total of 12 runs. That’s when Heather Knight and Natalie Brunt joined forces at play to form an incredible partnership that helped England score 285 runs for the loss of nine wickets.
Australia, like their competitors, got off to a wobbly start. The main distinction between them was a good third-wicket partnership. They continued to lose wickets, and as a result, England emerged victorious by 69 runs.
