Ireland Women (IRE-W) take on Pakistan Women (PAK-W) in the first match in a three-T20I series at Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast on Wednesday, August 6.
Hosts Ireland recently played a three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe in Dublin. They won all three games convincingly. Gaby Lewis top-scored in the series, smashing 154 runs in two innings at an average of 77 and a strike rate of 155.56. On the other hand, leg-spinner Cara Murray topped the wicket-taking charts with seven scalps from three games at an average of 7.43.
Pakistan, on the other hand, will be returning to the shortest format for the first time since the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup. They finished fourth out of the five teams in Group A, only managing a 31-run win against Sri Lanka. The Fatima Sana-led side failed to progress to the knockout stages of the 10-team tournament.

Probable Top Performers
Probable Best Batter: Gaby Lewis
Irish skipper Gaby Lewis is known for her consistency at the top of the order. She has been in good form and will look to continue her purple patch against Pakistan. She can drop anchor and also up the scoring rate when required. Pakistan will want to dismiss her before she gets set at the crease.
Probable Best Bowler: Nashra Sandhu
Nashra Sandhu's control through the middle overs would be crucial for Fatima Sana's women. She can frustrate opposition batters by bowling tight lines. The left-arm spinner also has the knack of picking up wickets. Even when she is not getting wickets, she builds pressure by bowling dot balls. The 27-year-old has fared well against Ireland in the past.
