IRE W vs WI W Prediction, 1st ODI – Who will win today’s match between IRE W vs WI W?

Ireland Women (IRE W) take on the West Indies Women (WI W) in the first ODI in a three-match series at Bready Cricket Club, Bready, Northern Ireland. The series opener will be played on Friday, July 10.

Gaby Lewis-led Ireland scripted history during the recently-concluded Women's T20 World Cup when they defeated the West Indies in their final game by six wickets. This was their first-ever win in the tournament's history after 21 attempts. However, the West Indies went beyond the group stage, unlike Ireland, and lost to eventual champions Australia in the semi-final.

When it comes to ODI cricket, both Ireland and the West Indies have not been in great form. While Ireland is languishing at No. 10 in the rankings, the West Indies are slightly better placed at No. 9.

Ireland's last ODI series was in December 2025, when they lost to South Africa 0-3. Meanwhile, the Windies also lost their most recent ODI assignment, getting whitewashed 0-3 by Australia.

The average first-innings total in women's ODIs at Bready Cricket Club is 254. Meanwhile, the average second-innings total is 258. Pacers will get some assistance when the ball is new. Batters will have to be cautious inside the powerplay. Once the ball gets older, runs would be there for the taking.

Amy Hunter (WK), Gaby Lewis (C), Orla Prendergast, Rebecca Stokell, Louise Little, Leah Paul, Alana Dalzell, Georgina Dempsey, Aimee Maguire, Cara Murray, Jane Maguire.

Hayley Matthews (C), Qiana Joseph, Deandra Dottin, Shemaine Campbelle (WK), Stafanie Taylor, Jahzara Claxton, Zaida James, Jannillea Glasgow, Aaliyah Alleyne, Afy Fletcher, Karishma Ramharack.

Hayley Matthews is the best batter heading into the series, despite having a quiet time in the Women's T20 World Cup. The right-handed batter is technically solid and is expected to do well in testing conditions. If he can play out the new ball, she will be difficult to dismiss.

While Matthews didn't have a great campaign with the bat in the World Cup, she certainly excelled with her off-spin bowling. She was seen taking the new ball and bowling some economical spells alongside taking important wickets.
