IN-W vs IR-W Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 Match 18 | IN-W vs IR-W Dream11 Prediction Today | Gqeberha Pitch Report
The equation is simple for India: win and qualify for the semi finals. If they lose, they will rely on England beating Pakistan. If they lose heavily (i.e. by 60 runs or more), they will fall behind West Indies and officially be eliminated. So, plenty is at stake for a team that has shown promise, but is still seeking the perfectly polished performance.
For Ireland, it is a chance to salvage pride in their journey. After knocking off Australia in a warm up, they had some good moments against England and pushed West Indies to the final two balls. Another solid performance will hold the Irish in good stead, and they will be aiming to play spoilsport.
