When Team (IND-W vs IRE-W) in the second ODI match on January 12 at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot, they will be looking for another clinical performance from the young players, who put on a strong show in the series opener.
The Women in Blue had a fantastic day in the opening ODI, winning by six wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, even though they were fielding a very inexperienced team. To win their first-ever women’s ODI match against Team India, Irish women, who are currently at the bottom of the Women’s Championship table, must completely improve their performance.
The ladies from Ireland batted first in the opening ODI match, scoring a respectable 238/7 in the allotted 50 overs. The team’s star was unimpressive, and in the game’s fourteenth over, the Irish ladies were battling at 54/4. Star batsmen Leah Paul and Gaby Lewis, however, put on a brilliant batting display, scoring 117 runs for the fifth wicket stand. Paul hit 59 runs to put his team over the 230-run threshold and finish with 238 runs in the game’s 50 overs, while Lewis scored 92 off 129 balls with 15 boundaries.
In response, Indian opening batsmen Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana got off to a strong start. The pair gave the rest of the side optimism for an easy chance by stitching 70 runs off the stand for the opening wicket. In the game’s 35th over, with six wickets remaining, the hosts easily defeated Gaby Lewis and her women thanks to Mandhana’s 41 off 29 balls and Rawal’s 89.

Player Picks
Gaby Lewis
Gaby Lewis was Ireland’s best batter in the first ODI. The Ireland skipper racked up 92 and struck 15 fours in her knock. She has 354 runs in 11 ODI innings (four fifties) since the start of 2024.
Orla Prendergast
Orla Prendergast could be a top all-round pick. The Ireland seam-bowling all-rounder didn’t create an impact in the first game but she has been in good form. She has scored 369 runs and taken nine wickets in 13 ODIs since January last year.
Richa Ghosh
Richa Ghosh has played some impactful knocks in the middle-order for India. The 21-year-old stumper has got 193 runs in 11 outings while striking at 97.96 since the start of 2024.
Deepti Sharma
Deepti Sharma could be an effective choice for captaincy. The premier off-spinning all-rounder had figures of 10-1-41-1 in the first ODI. She has taken 25 scalps in 14 ODIs at an economy rate of 4.45 since the start of 2024. She has also made 186 runs with the bat.
Smriti Mandhana
Smriti Mandhana will be a top captaincy option. The stand-in India captain and left-handed opener is in sublime form. She has racked up 788 runs while averaging 56.28 in her last 14 ODIs. She has four hundreds and three fifties in this period.
Priya Mishra
Priya Mishra might be a good punt as vice-captain. The 20-year-old leg-spinner has had an impressive start to her ODI career. She has returned with 13 wickets in eight games. She took 2/56 in the first game of the series.
Pratika Rawal
Pratika Rawal has had a solid start to her ODI career. She has played four matches and has aggregated 223 runs which includes a couple of half-centuries. Her off-spin can come in handy as well.
Jemimah Rodrigues
Jemimah Rodrigues has been getting some very good starts but she hasn’t been able to get those big scores. She has made 338 runs in 13 innings at a strike-rate of 92.34 since the start of 92.34.
Arlene Kelly
Arlene Kelly has been consistent with the ball for Ireland. The 31-year-old seamer has picked up 15 wickets in 11 innings at an economy rate of 4.59.
