Sri Lanka Women vs Ireland Women – 20th Match

The 20th Match of Group B in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 will see Sri Lanka Women take on Ireland Women on Tuesday, June 23, at County Ground, Bristol. The match is scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM local time (1:30 PM GMT / 6:30 AM PT / 9:30 AM ET).

Sri Lanka Women enter this important contest under the leadership of Chamari Athapaththu. Their batting lineup features Hasini Perera, Vishmi Gunarathne, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Nilakshika Silva, and Imesha Dulani. Athapaththu remains the team’s biggest match-winner and can change the course of a game with both bat and ball.

The Sri Lankan all-round department is strengthened by Chamari Athapaththu, Kavisha Dilhari, Sugandika Dassanayaka, and Kaushini Nuthyangana. Their versatility provides balance and flexibility in different match situations.

Sri Lanka’s bowling attack includes Kawya Kavindi, Malki Madara, Nimasha Madushani, Chethana Vimukthi, Sugandika Dassanayaka, and Kavisha Dilhari. The bowling unit will aim to control the middle overs and restrict Ireland’s scoring opportunities.

Ireland Women, captained by Gaby Lewis, possess a competitive squad with Amy Hunter, Rebecca Stokell, Leah Paul, Christina Coulter Reilly, and Alice Tector forming the core of their batting unit. Lewis will be expected to lead from the front with the bat.

The Irish all-rounders include Orla Prendergast, Georgina Dempsey, Arlene Kelly, and Alice Tector. Their contributions with both bat and ball could prove crucial in a closely fought encounter.

Ireland’s bowling attack features Ava Canning, Alana Dalzell, Louise Little, Aimee Maguire, Cara Murray, and Arlene Kelly. They will need disciplined bowling performances to contain Sri Lanka’s experienced batting lineup.

The County Ground pitch in Bristol generally offers a fair contest between bat and ball. Seam bowlers can extract movement early in the innings, while batters who spend time at the crease can score freely. A total around 140-155 could be a competitive score at this venue.

Expert Prediction: Sri Lanka Women have a 58% chance and Ireland Women have a 42% winning chance.
