Ireland are set to take on England in the second game of the Women’s ODI series at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast on September 9. With England already leading the 3-match series 1-0 after a comfortable 6-wicket win in the first ODI, they will be looking to secure another victory and seal the series with a game to spare.

For Ireland, the upcoming match is a must-win situation as they aim to keep the series alive. After a tough outing in the first game, where they struggled to challenge England’s dominance, the Irish team will need a significantly improved performance to turn the tide and force a decider in the final ODI.
