Ireland Women will be locking horns with Australia Women in the fourth match of the Tri-Nation Women’s T20I Series at the Bready Cricket Club on Thursday, July 21. The last time these two teams met in the ongoing series, the hosts were decimated by the Aussies who got the job done by nine wickets without needing to break any sweat.
Ireland certainly need to do a lot of work if they are to challenge this strong Australian unit, especially their lethal bowling line-up which restricted the hosts to a paltry 99/8 four days ago with only opener Rebecca Stokell (22) scoring more than 20 runs while most of the batters heading back to the pavilion with single figures against their names.
Meanwhile, Australia are currently placed at the top of the tri-series points table with one win from their two matches and six points to their tally at an NRR of 3.076. Their game against Pakistan was washed out. Even Pakistan have similar points from as many matches as Australia, but their net run rate is a bit lesser at 0.929.
Ireland are in a spot of bother having lost both their games with a negative NRR of -2.063.

IRE-W vs AUS-W Pitch Report:
The surface at the Bready Cricket Club is once again expected to see the bowlers make merry and both pacers, as well as the spinners, could get some purchase from this wicket. However, overall, Bready is a batting-friendly pitch and a run-fest can be expected in this contest once batters are well set in the middle. Therefore, the captain winning the toss will look to bat first.

IRE-W vs AUS-W, 4th T20I Probable Top Performers
Probable best batter of the match
Beth Mooney
Apart from dealing with the hard-hitting Alyssa Healy, Ireland must also watch out for Beth Mooney who has the potential to play match-defining knocks for Australia opening the innings. In fact, Mooney had scored an unbeaten 45 runs off 33 deliveries in the previous fixture against the hosts and almost single-handedly got the job done for her side. She would be eyeing another stellar knock.
Probable best bowler of the match
Alana King
Alana King was the star for Australia in the last game against Ireland as she bamboozled the hosts and restricted them to a below-par total with her outstanding spell. She broke the backbone of the Irish batting line-up with figures of 3/9 from her four overs at an economy of 2.25 runs per over. The Irish batters must be very alert while tackling Alana King this time around.
