IRE-W vs ENG-W Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Womens T20 World Cup 2023
Match 6 of the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup brings Ireland Women and England Women together on Monday afternoon in Paarl. This is Ireland Women’s first game of the tournament but England Women got off to a winning start against West Indies Women on Saturday afternoon. Read on as we preview this Group B clash. This fixture gets underway at Boland Park at 15:00 local time.
Ireland Women are certainly a team moving in the right direction and will have been encouraged by their series victory in Pakistan in 2022. However, this England Women side are a far tougher and more talented opponent.
After a disappointing 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England Women have responded well and are playing excellent WT20I cricket. They should be far too strong for Ireland Women in this match.

IRE Women Team News & Playing 11
IRE-W Team News
We expect the bulk of Ireland Women’s team to be very similar to the side who went to Pakistan and won the three-match WT20I series 2-1 in November. Although the conditions are very different in South Africa, Laura Delany will lead out a team with only one or two changes from their last game.
IRE-W Key Players
- Gaby Lewis- the 21 year old all-rounder is expected to dominate Irish Women’s cricket for the next decade and beyond. She has a top score of 105 not out in WT20Is.
- Laura Delany- the skipper is effective with both bat and ball in this format and her leadership was a key part of Ireland Women’s success in Pakistan last year.
- Arlene Kelly- the experienced medium pace bowler had an excellent tour of Pakistan last November and has been picking up regular wickets for Auckland Aces in the Women’s Super Smash over recent months.
IRE-W Team Form
Ireland Women have won three of their last five WT20Is and also beat Australia Women in a warm-up game last week.

ENG-W Team News
After a convincing seven wicket win with 33 balls remaining over West Indies Women on Saturday, we expect to see England Women line-up with the same players in this game. They have a clear idea of their best XI and there are no injury worries forcing changes.
ENG-W Key Players
- Sophia Dunkley- the batting all-rounder opens the batting in WT20Is and hit a rapid 34 runs from 18 balls in the opening against West Indies Women.
- Heather Knight- the skipper is a brilliant all-format player and capable of anchoring an innings or going on the attack if required. She began the tournament with 32 not out from 22 balls.
- Sophie Ecclestone- the left-arm spinner is a regular wicket taker for England Women. She dismissed the dangerous Hayley Matthews as well as Afy Fletcher and Zaida James on Saturday.
ENG-W Team Form
England Women have won their last seven WT20Is, a run which stretches back to September.
