England Women Form

England piled on 219/1 off their 20 overs against Sri Lanka on the way to an 87-run win, bowling their opponents out for just 132.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge’s 105* against Sri Lanka came on the back of scores of 124, 96, 38, 119 and 29 in her last 10 matches. Nat Sciver-Brunt has scored 47, 57 and 46* in her last five matches.

Charlie Dean (2/18, econ 6.00) knocked over two of Sri Lanka’s top five and Sophie Ecclestone (2/27) knocked over their top scorer, but the hero of the innings was Freya Kemp who picked up 4/22 at just 5.50 to the over.

Ireland Women Form

Ireland finished second above Pakistan in the Tri-Nation Women's T20I Series they hosted in May and June, beating Pakistan and the West Indies in their last two T20Is ahead of the World Cup.

They lost their opener against Scotland by 40 runs, conceding 161/5 and being bowled out for 121. Ava Canning (3/27) starred with the ball, with Aimee Maguire and Arlene Kelly each picking up a wicket.

Opener Amy Hunter (39 off 36 balls) did her best to get her side off to a good start and was backed up by Orla Prendergast (23 off 23 balls) before being reduced to 70/6, which effectively ended their chances in the match.

Team news

England have a powerful squad that is in good form, while Ireland have just a couple of players in form and will need the rest of their side to contribute if they hope to have any chance of giving England a challenge.

England Women (possible XI): Amy Jones, Danielle Wyatt Hodge, Natalie Sciver (c), Alice Capsey, Heather Knight, Freya Kemp, Danielle Gibson, Charlotte Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell.

Ireland Women (possible XI): Alana Dalzell, Amy Hunter, Gaby Lewis (c), Orla Prendergast, Rebecca Stokell, Leah Paul, Alice Tector, Arlene Kelly, Ava Canning, Cara Murray, Aimee Maguire.

Verdict

England v Ireland Women

England Women are tipped to win at odds of 1.016, with Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Freya Kemp, Orla Prendergast and Ava Canning backed to star with bat and ball.
