Today there is the start of another new series between Ireland women and Sri Lanka women and I think the Ireland team would lose this series as the Sri Lanka women's team are on it’s peak as they won the Asia Cup recently.
I think the Ireland team also know they are not going to win even a single match in this series against Sri Lanka because Sri Lanka women's team players are really good as we can see from their current performance. After some hours, the first match will be played that is going to be hosted by Dublin.
Is anyone taking a risk to bet on Ireland women today? I think i will wait for the match to start and then see if it is appropriate to place the bet or not, after seeing the match conditions and the odds.
Agree that Sri Lankan women are strong but i think that Ireland women is a good team too. We don’t have to underestimate them because remember, the same way we were saying this that Sri Lanka men’s team has no chance of winning matches against India but we have seen even Sri Lanka won the ODI series when just recently the India team won the ODI World Cup 2024. Their loss against the Sri Lanka men’s team was not expected.
Coming back to the women's team, the Sri Lanka women's team has won the women’s Asia Cup. Overall, I want to say don’t underestimate Ireland women’s team because anything could happen today and in this series.
I also agree with you that no team should ever be underestimated any time any team can become strong. Similarly, in today's match between Ireland Women's team and Sri Lanka Women's team, which team will win, although many of us are taking Sri Lankan team as the favorite, Ireland is a good enough team. As we have seen earlier in Sri Lanka men's game against India most people were in favor of India and there was a great victory and Sri Lanka men's team won the series. So accordingly I think no team should be underestimated, certainly if Island women's team can perform well then Sri Lanka women's team can definitely beat them. Although Sri Lanka Women's team is currently strong, but they will definitely try to do well against every team and Island Women's team will not give up easily, but they will also fight.
Everyone tries to win the games but only those who can basically attack from two sides can win this game of cricket. Although Ireland team is much less in terms of strength but in this match they have performed well in terms of batting and bowling. But the players of Sri Lanka women team are experienced and skilled but they lost this match mainly due to the weakness of the captains, who could not control the bowling in a proper manner. I think only the captain's weakness in this match was the biggest one due to which they lost more wickets in this match, the batsman who is patient and can last long should be allowed to perform mainly in the power play. But the Sri Lankan players felt failure in that case and they could not perform well here, Dilhari could have performed better if he had come to bat in the second position.
