Ireland Women will face off against Sri Lanka Women in the second and final T20I on Tuesday at the Pembroke Cricket Club in Dublin.

In the series opener, Sri Lanka secured a dominant 7-wicket victory over the hosts Ireland. Despite the absence of regular skipper Chamari Athapaththu, opener Harshitha Samarawickrama stood out with a brilliant 86 off just 45 balls, hitting 15 fours and one six. Her performance guided the visitors to chase down the 146-run target in just 16.4 overs.

The upcoming match is crucial for the Irish team, as they must win to level the T20I series before both sides meet in the three-match ODI series.

Pembroke Cricket Club Pitch Report:

The pitch at Pembroke Cricket Club in Dublin is typically known for its balance, offering support to both batters and bowlers. It usually provides good carry and bounce, allowing batters to play their shots confidently. However, as the match progresses, the surface may slow down, making it a bit more challenging for the batters coming in later. While the track is generally favourable for batting, it also offers some assistance to bowlers, particularly with the older ball. Spinners can find some turn, and pacers may benefit from movement off the pitch.
