The stage is set for an exciting clash as India assume Ireland in the second women’s ODI on January 12, 2025. After claiming a convincing victory in the first match of the series, the Indian team is eager to continue its winning momentum and clinch the series.
Led by their in-form players, India put in an all-round performance in the first match, showing dominance with both bat and ball. The team will look to replicate that effort in the second ODI and seal the series with one match to spare.
For Ireland, the next match is a must-win match to stay alive in the series. The visitors will need to regroup quickly, address their deficiencies from the first match and put in a good performance to level the series. With their backs against the wall, Ireland will be motivated to challenge the hosts and keep their hopes alive.
Ireland women’s tour of India 2024, 2nd ODI:
- Date and time: January 12, 05:30 am GMT/ 11:00 am local/ 11:00 am IST
- Event: Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot
Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot is known for its batting-friendly nature and offers excellent support to the batsmen right from the start. Its hard surface provides constant bounce and rhythm, making stroke play easier. Bowlers often face a tough challenge in the first few overs as the ball comes to the bat smoothly, making it difficult to contain the run. However, the spinners could prove crucial as the game progresses, especially during the middle overs when the pitch could start to slow down. In night games, dew could become a major factor, potentially benefiting teams batting second.
