Ireland Women (IRE-W) will take on Pakistan Women (PAK-W) in the first ODI of the three-match 20-over series at the Clontarf Cricket Club Ground in Dublin. The two teams last contested in the shortest format of the game back in February 2023.

The Irish will be coming into the competition off a resounding 3-0 triumph against Zimbabwe last month. Ireland would be keen to maintain their winning momentum and start the upcoming series against Women in Green on a high.

Pakistan’s last appearance in the T20I format was during the Women’s T20 World Cup in 2024, where they lost three of their four group-stage matches to get knocked out. The Fatima Sana-led team will be hoping to turn things around against Ireland.
