Ireland Women vs Australia Women Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Australia Women all-rounder Grace Harris has risen in stature rapidly over the years. Her batting in the middle-order and off-spin bowling is expected to play a huge role in the series for Australia Women. The 29-year-old has played nine ODI matches till date and picked 11 wickets. However, she has scored just 15 runs and that does not at all suit her stature.

Ireland all-rounder and captain Laura Delany will need to step up in both the departments of the game and lead from the front to set an example for her team. The 30-year-old has played 30 ODI matches and scored 917 runs at an average of 21.83. The right-arm pacer has picked 61 wickets at an average of 22.26.

Ireland Women vs Australia Women Betting Odds

Australia Women opening partnership to be over 19.5

The Australia Women batting line-up is one of the best in the world and scoring over 19.5 runs together for their opening pair should not be a difficult task. The pair of Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield, have partnered for 10, 7, 8, 19, 129* and 2 runs in their last five outings together. Though Mooney and Litchfield struggled against the quality bowling of England Women in the last three matches, they are expected to bounce back strongly against Ireland.

What makes the opening pair even more favourite to score over 19 runs before the fall of the first wicket is the fact that Ireland Women bowling group lacks any kind of flair. Take for example their ODI series against West Indies this month. Cara Murray, picked three wickets in the first match and went wicket-less in the following two matches but was the leading wicket-taker for her team. Aimee Maguire and Sophie MacMahon were the only two bowlers from the team who managed two wickets in the series. Australia Women openers might find it too easy to give a cracking start to their team.

Ireland Women vs Australia Women Top Team Batter

Gaby Lewis to be Ireland Women's top batter

Ireland Women's 22-year-old batter Gaby Lewis would like to continue piling up runs for her team.

Alyssa Healy to be Australia Women's top batter

Australia Women captain Alyssa Healy could emerge as a major threat to the Irish team. In her last seven matches, Healy has scored 347 runs at an average of 49.57 and a strike rate of 115.28. Overall, the 33-year-old wicket-keeper batter has scored 2667 runs in 97 ODI matches at an average of 35.56 and a strike rate of 100.18.

Ireland Women vs Australia Women Women Top bowler

Cara Murray to be Ireland Women's top bowler

The Ireland bowling unit struggled against the West Indies. Cara Murray was their leading wicket-taker in the series. She picked three wickets for 60 runs in the first ODI. Did not get a chance to bowl in the second, while in the final ODI, Murray gave away 26 runs in five overs without taking any wicket. The leg-spinner has played a total of 19 ODI matches and picked 23 wickets at an average of 37.60.

In her last 10 ODIs, the 26-year-old off-spinner has picked 19 wickets at an economy rate of 4.14 and a strike rate of 23.68.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Australia Women

Australia Women are the certain winner of their upcoming match against Ireland Women who provide no match to the quality the world champions possess. Ireland Women batting unit might just post decent runs on the board but their bowling unit is in tatters. Their last ODI series against West Indies saw Cara Murray who picked wickets in just one match emerge as the leading wicket-taker for Ireland. She picked three wickets in the 3-match series. Two more bowlers from the team managed two wickets each in the series.

The batting group will also face a very tough time against bowling stars like Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath and Jess Jonassen. Also, Ireland haven't won a single ODI match against Australia Women and that would add to the pressure on them.
