After an 8-year gap, Ireland returns to Indian shores, still searching for their first international victory against the hosts. However, their recent triumphs over England and Bangladesh in subcontinental conditions have boosted their morale. India, having recovered impressively from their Australian setback with comprehensive victories in both ODI and T20I series against West Indies, looks formidable. Both teams will be eager to start the series on a winning note.
With Harmanpreet Kaur resting, Smriti Mandana takes the leadership role. The batting lineup features Pratika Rawal partnering with Mandana at the top, followed by the seasoned trio of Deepti Sharma, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Richa Ghosh. The team management might consider including Minnu Mani and Harleen Deol in the playing XI for this encounter.
Titas Sadhu will spearhead the bowling attack, supported by the promising pace duo of Saima Thakor and Sayali Satgore. The spin department looks particularly formidable with the experienced Deepti Sharma leading the charge, complemented by the skilled duo of Tanuja Kanwar and Priya Mishra, who have consistently delivered impressive performances in domestic cricket.
Key players: Smriti Mandana, Deepti Sharma, Harleen Deol

The Irish contingent will be under the leadership of the dynamic Gaby Lewis, with wicketkeeper-batter Sarah Forbes joining her at the top order. The middle order presents a solid combination of experience and youth, featuring Laura Delany, Leah Paul, Orla Pendergast, and Una Reymond Hoey. The team’s batting depth is further strengthened by versatile all-rounders Arlene Kelly and Georgina Dempsey.
In the bowling department, Freya Sargent and Orla Pendergast will take the new ball, while Arlene Kelly and Georgia Dempsey are expected to provide crucial support as change bowlers. Aimee Maguire will lead the spin attack, bringing her experience and variations to the fore.

The weather in Rajkot promises perfect cricket conditions with clear skies and no precipitation expected throughout the match duration.
The Rajkot surface traditionally favors spin bowling, with the ball expected to grip and turn as the match progresses. Match analysts predict a competitive total between 240-240 runs on this surface.
Both teams will aim to bat first and establish a competitive total on the scoreboard in this encounter. The early morning conditions, with potential moisture in the pitch, could provide an advantage to the bowling sides, making it crucial for teams to navigate the initial overs carefully.
Despite resting several key players, India’s squad depth remains formidable, particularly in home conditions, and their bench strength is expected to deliver strong performances. While Ireland enters the match with renewed confidence following their recent victories against England and Bangladesh in international cricket, they are yet to secure a win against India. Although the Irish team will be eager to maintain their winning momentum in this series, India’s home advantage and overall team strength make them the favorites.
INDIA will win the match.
