Match already been started and Ireland women team took the first turn in batting and they made 238 runs in 50 overs and they lost 7 wickets. If you ask me so I think this is a good target which Ireland women team has give to Indian women team. Because Women teams mostly make near to 200 runs in ODI. By the way at this time match is on inning break and soon will be started again and Indian women team will show their power and I think they will do better. So let's wait for Indian women team batting and let's see how they will play.
Ireland gave a target of 238 runs only because of there skipper Gaby Lewis fantastic knock of 92 runs along with runs scored by batters that came in the last. Apart from Gaby Lewis, no other batter from top order was able to make it to double figure. For team like India 238 was not a big target and was easily chased in 35th over. India women team lost only 4 wicket in that run chase. Two more ODIs still to be played in this series and Ireland need to work hard to win later matches against mighty Indians women team.
Ireland Women won the toss and elected to bat first. Leah Paul and Gaby Lewis batted responsibly for the team after losing the opening wicket. Gaby Lewis was out with 92 runs off 129 balls. Leah Paul was out with 59 runs off 73 balls. The batsmen of the Indian women's team batted very responsibly against the target of 238 runs given by the Ireland women's team. India Women's batting did not have much problem to win India Women's team easily won against Ireland Women. India women's team lost just four wickets to win against Ireland India women's team won by six wickets against Ireland women's team. Undoubtedly India women's team is stronger than Ireland women's team which is why Ireland women's team has performed fairly well in the first round of India women's.
