Ireland Women (IRE W) take on the West Indies Women (WI W) in the first ODI in a three-match series at Bready Cricket Club, Bready, Northern Ireland. The series opener will be played on Friday, July 10.
Gaby Lewis-led Ireland scripted history during the recently-concluded Women’s T20 World Cup when they defeated the West Indies in their final game by six wickets. This was their first-ever win in the tournament’s history after 21 attempts. However, the West Indies went beyond the group stage, unlike Ireland, and lost to eventual champions Australia in the semi-final.
When it comes to ODI cricket, both Ireland and the West Indies have not been in great form. While Ireland is languishing at No. 10 in the rankings, the West Indies are slightly better placed at No. 9.
Ireland’s last ODI series was in December 2025, when they lost to South Africa 0-3. Meanwhile, the Windies also lost their most recent ODI assignment, getting whitewashed 0-3 by Australia.
