In the first T20 match between Ireland women team and Sri Lanka women team, we saw that Sri Lanka women team batted in the second innings and defeated Ireland women team by a big margin. Today is the second match of the series which could be the series deciding match for the Sri Lankan women's team, on the other hand it could be the comeback match for the Ireland women's team. Ireland women's team has nothing to gain in the T20 series as the first match has already been won by Sri Lanka women's team. Since the series is only two matches, if today's match is abandoned, still Sri Lanka wins the series, on the other hand, if Sri Lanka wins, then Sri Lanka wins the series without an equation. Sri Lanka Women's performance is good enough so I will favor Sri Lanka Women's team in the second T20 match.

The Sri Lankan team controlled this match but usually lost the match due to high fall of wickets towards the last. Meanwhile, the bowling pressure of the Ireland team could not withstand the pressure of the wicket again and the Sri Lanka women's players lost the match by just seven runs.

Apart from Harshitha Madhavi and Kavisha Dilhari, other players did not perform well. However, Ireland's bowling performed best due to which they lost against a strong team like Sri Lanka. Ireland women's players attacked from both batting and bowling side.

Sri Lanka Women's team was in good control of their game from the start, but they were forced to lose the match due to the fall of their extra wicket at the last minute. Ireland women's bowling performance was excellent, and they bowled well for which they won by 7 runs. Although these players did not perform very well but if they could have performed well then there might have been a chance to win. However, the Island women performed well enough and both their batting and fielding performances were excellent, which led them to win the match. The Island Women's team won the second T20 match and their current series result is 1/1, but both teams will play better later on to win.

Not at all were the Sri Lankan women's batsmen under pressure early on as two wickets fell in their first 29 runs. After the fall of two wickets Sri Lanka Women's 2 experienced batsmen Dilhari and Harshita managed to put together an unbreakable partnership of 72 runs off 49 balls. Originally the pair was dreaming of beating the Sri Lankan women's team then suddenly the pair fell out of favor even as defeat for the Sri Lankan team was slowly approaching. I would say that in yesterday's match Sri Lanka women's order batsmen played well but their team's top order and lower order batsmen performed poorly and Sri Lanka lost that match.

Dilhara might have been able to reach the port of victory if someone could have given him proper support. Dilara kept one edge but the other batsmen of his team joined the procession.
