IRE W vs AUS W | 4th T20 | Preview, CREX XI
Having narrowly missed out on beating Pakistan in the 3rd match, Ireland will look to make a comeback in the Tri-series against Australia at the Bready Cricket Ground in Northern Ireland.
Ireland's batting woes giving them a hard time
Hosts' struggle against the quality spin of Alana King tied them down to a score below hundred in their previous encounter. Not just against Australia but Pakistan also restricted Ireland to a certain extent, except for Gaby Lewis, who was flawless in her approach.
Even though Ireland have an opportunity to fight their way back into the series, it all depends on how they face the likes of King and Brown. Ireland are at the bottom of the points table with zero points from two matches in the series.
Australia look to extend their stay at the top
A win against Ireland and an abandoned match due to rain against Pakistan have given Australia six points in two games, giving them the top spot on the points table. High-class bowling in both the matches from their key player Alana King has given them the necessary hold.
Along with that, opener Beth Mooney and skipper Meg Lanning's explosive batting in their previous encounter must remind the hosts of the duo's threat.
