ENG-W vs IRE-W, Women’s T20 World Cup 2026: A rampant England will look to keep pushing the limit as they face Ireland in their second match of Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 match at the Rose Bowl or Ageas Bowl in Southampton on June 16, Tuesday. England, the tournament hosts and one of the favourites to lift the trophy, will look to carry their momentum in the second match too.
England, captained by Nat Sciver-Brunt, were clinical in all the departments in the opening game of the tournament against Sri Lanka. Having lost only one wicket and smashing 219/1 in 20 overs, headlined by Danni Wyatt-Hodge’s hundred, the home side bundled the Lankans out for 132 to register a big win. The victory has also given them a massive net run-rate boost, meaning they are almost certain to qualify for the semi-finals unless there is a meltdown of epic proportions.
Ireland, meanwhile, will be concerned after their 40-run defeat to Scotland to open their campaign at the Old Trafford in Manchester. They did a serviceable job to keep the Scottish to 161 but none other than Amy Hunter (39) and Orla Pendergast (33) managed to score substantially. As a result, Ireland played 19.1 overs and got bowled out for 121. They particularly struggled against Soctland’s spin twins of Kirstie Gordon and Katherine Fraser, with both claiming three wickets apiece in their eight overs.
