Delany wants Ireland to own the field playing ‘their style of cricket ‘

Must read

“It’s sticking to our strengths, and knowing that if we play that style of cricket, then hopefully we come up on the other side.”

Looking over to the Sri Lanka series, Delany stated that while star batter Chamari Athapaththu was the main challenge, she was also aware that the Asian side wasn’t as heavily dependent on the southpaw as before.

Athapaththu, who will be unavailable for the T20Is due to her commitments with Oval Invincibles in the Women’s Hundred, will join the team for the ODIs.

“We know Chamari Athapaththu is the key player for them. But when you look at their batting lineup, and how they’ve played over the last four-five games, they’ve had a number of players contributing.

“We know there’s not just one or two players in their side, that we’ll have to look out for. We expect a very competitive game.”
