The series got underway on Monday and West Indies Women took a 1-0 lead as they successfully defended their total of 297-6 after winning the toss and choosing to bat first. 18 year old left-arm spinner and batting opener Zaida James made her ODI debut and we expect her to keep her place in this match.
Skipper Hayley Matthews produced a captain’s performance as she took the Player of the Match Award with her fourth ODI century of her career. The experienced pair of Stafanie Taylor and Chinelle Henry both made half-centuries as well.
Defending 298 to win, West Indies Women used eight bowlers, all with impressive run-rates, with Hayley Matthews, Afy Fletcher and Qiana Joseph the wicket takers. Zaida James bowled only two overs but will be hoping to get more overs in this match.
West Indies Women had been thrashed in all three WODIs at home against England in December so Monday’s win over Ireland Women was very welcome.

Although they lost by 58 runs on Monday, it was by no means a poor performance from Ireland Women and they will think that if they can dismiss Haley Matthews earlier in this game then they will have a real chance of victory. 19 year old Ava Canning made her WODI debut and picked up a wicket in the opening WODI.
There were strong batting performances from three of Ireland Women’s top four on Monday with Gaby Lewis hitting 83, Orla Prendergast making 37 and skipper Laura Delany scoring 40. Prendergast hit the only six of the innings and that will be an area Ireland Women will want to improve on in this game.
Eight bowlers were used across the 50 overs of West Indies Women’s innings but it was only Arlene Kelly and Cara Murray who bowled their full allocation of 10 overs each. Murray took 3-60 but it was Ava Canning, on debut, who produced the most economical figures of 1-33 from her 8 overs.
Ireland Women last won a WODI back in August of last year when they beat Netherlands Women. Since then they have lost four in a row.

Although Hayley Matthews was the main difference between the teams on Monday, Ireland Women will know that she is a very consistent performer and is more than capable of repeating her efforts with bat and ball in this game. We are predicting a closer contest but expect West Indies Women to once again come out on top.
