PreviewThe final ODI of the three-match series between Ireland Women and Sri Lanka Women will be played at the Civil Service Cricket Club on August 20, 2024.Before the commencement of the ODI series, even the most optimistic Irish supporters wouldn't have expected to come even close to giving Sri Lanka Women a run for their money, let alone win two on the spin.Ireland Women, currently ranked 11th in the ICC Women's ODI Team Rankings, have won both their games in the series, which were also their first couple of victories against the islanders in the 50-over format.With the series in the bag and the third ODI to be played within a gap of 24 hours from the second one, a few changes might be expected in the XIs of both the sides. However, there might also be a possibility of the teams sticking with their squads to maintain momentum.Match DetailsMatch Ireland Women vs Sri Lanka Women, 3rd ODI Venue Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast Date & Time August 20, Tuesday, 3:15 pm IST Live Broadcast & Streaming Details Sports18 (Television) and JioCinema (app/website)Also Check: Ireland Women vs Sri Lanka Women Live Score, 3rd ODIPitch ReportThe Civil Service Cricket Club provides a good contest between bat and ball. Batters must give themselves some time in the middle to settle down and get accustomed to the behaviour of the pitch before growing into their innings. Like the previous couple of games, pacers are expected to gain significant assistance with the new ball and the spinners will get into the game as it progresses, especially in the second innings.Head-to-Head RecordMatches Played 6 Won by Ireland Women 2 Won by Sri Lanka Women 3 No Result 1 First-ever Fixture 05/12/00 Most-recent Fixture 19/08/24IRE-W vs SL-W Probable Playing 11:Ireland Women:Sarah Forbes, Christina Coulter Reilly, Amy Hunter (wk), Orla Prendergast (c), Leah Paul, Rebecca Stokell, Arlene Kelly, Jane Maguire, Alana Dalzell, Freya Sargent, Aimee MaguireSri Lanka Women:Vishmi Gunaratne, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Hasini Perera, Nilakshi de Silva, Sachini Nisansala, Sugandika Kumari, Achini Kulasuriya, Udeshika PrabhodiniIRE-W vs SL-W Probable Top Performers of the MatchProbable Best Batter: Harshitha SamarawickramaHaving registered her highest ODI score in the previous game, the top-order batter would be filled with confidence and would want to keep the momentum going by securing another substantial score.Probable Best Bowler: Kavisha DillhariBarring the two T20Is against Sri Lanka Women in which she returned wicketless, the all-rounder has been exceptional with the ball.
