The Ireland women’s cricket team is scheduled for their first-ever bilateral series in India, where they will face the hosts in three One Day Internationals (ODIs), from January 10 to 15, 2025. Below are the details on how to follow the live action and key moments from this historic series.
Hosts India rebounded from their 0-3 ODI series loss to Australia early last month with a convincing 2-1 Twenty20 International (T20I) series win and a commanding 3-0 ODI series win against the West Indies later in the month.
The series highlighted young talents establishing their footing, with Titas Sadhu (20) taking 4 wickets in three T20Is and 3 wickets in as many ODIs. Equally impressive was Priya Mishra, also 20, who claimed 5 wickets in 3 ODIs. On the batting front, debutant Pratika Rawal (24) made a strong impact with 134 runs in 3 ODIs, while Harleen Deol (26) notched up her maiden international century.
On the other hand, Ireland toured Bangladesh for six white-ball matches in December 2024, where they secured a dominant 3-0 T20I series win following an upsetting 0-3 ODI series defeat.
Batting collapses were at the center of Ireland’s ODI whitewash, though Laura Delany and Orla Prendergast stood out, contributing with both bat and ball. Aimee Maguire, 18, made a notable impact with the ball, while Gaby Lewis continued to be amongst runs.
India vs Ireland head-to-head:
The two teams have faced each other in 12 ODIs, with India winning every game. They last met in a bilateral series in 2006, with their previous meeting in 2002; both of these were two-match ODI series.
