Ireland are set to host Sri Lanka for a two-game Women’s T20I series starting August 11 at the Pembroke Cricket Club in Dublin. Both T20I matches will take place at this venue, and will be followed by a three-match ODI series between the two teams.
Sri Lanka riding high on recent triumphs
Sri Lanka Women come into this series with impressive momentum, having secured notable victories in recent months. They emerged victorious in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2024 and followed it up with a groundbreaking win in the Asia Cup, where they claimed their first-ever title by defeating India. With this recent success, Sri Lanka poses a strong challenge to the Irish team.
Ireland set to test Sri Lanka’s winning streak
On the other hand, Ireland also showcased their potential in the Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2024, delivering solid performances. As they gear up to face a confident Sri Lankan side, the Irish Women will aim to capitalize on their home advantage and build on their recent form to challenge their formidable opponents in what promises to be an exciting contest.
