Sri Lanka Women's team will face Ireland Women's team in the third and final match of the series today. The T20 series was drawn 1-1. Sri Lanka Women's team lost the first two matches of the ODI series. This result was completely unexpected. Because Sri Lanka women team is strong and experienced compared to Ireland women team. But still this team is not able to perform well against Ireland women team.
In the first match, the Sri Lanka women's team set a target of 261 runs. The match was competitive but in the end Ireland women's team won the match. Ireland set a target of just 256 runs in the second match. But apart from Samarwicrama, no other Sri Lankan batsman can play well.
In the last match, bookih considers the Sri Lankan team as the favourite. I think Sri Lanka Women's team will win at least one match. However, Ireland women's players have performed well in the first two matches.
I think Ireland's players didn't take it seriously in the third match. As they have already won the series, the players of Ireland women's team are not giving much effort to win the third match. I was very surprised by the performance of the Ireland women's team today.
Ireland women's team set a target of just 123 runs today. Ireland's players scored 250+ in the last two matches. But in today's match, Ireland's players performed very badly. The first four batsmen of the top order have a total collection of 10 runs. Arlene Kelly top scored with 35 off 75 balls.
Sri Lanka women's team had no chance of defeat on such a small target. Sri Lanka women's team will win today quite easily. Sri Lanka collected 94 runs in 18 overs. Sri Lanka Women's team needs only 29 runs to win.
