What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for IN-W vs IR-W, ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, Group 2, Match 18?

Top Pick – Batter

Smriti Mandhana still needs to show more maturity with the bat in crunch situations although she scored a half-century in the last game against England however it went in vain. In 2 matches in this tournament, she has added 62 runs at a strike rate of 129.16.

Top Pick – All-Rounder

Orla Prendergast exhibited her true potential with the bat in this competition, scoring 109 runs in 3 matches at an average of 36.33 and even picking up a wicket.

Top Pick – Bowler

Renuka Singh Thakur was unplayable in the last game against England and recorded her career-best figures of 5 for 15. She is a good captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Richa Ghosh is in the middle of an excellent tournament with the bat. In 3 matches, she has hammered 122 runs at a strike rate of 141.86 without getting dismissed.

X-Factor:

Deepti Sharma is an asset for India and controls the middle phases with her off-breaks and is equally helpful with the bat. In 3 matches in this league, she has scalped 5 wickets at an economy of 7.58 and added 7 runs in an innings.

Football’s loss may be cricket’s gain,
But Mary’s football skill to see is plain!

What are the fantasy suggested teams for IN-W vs IR-W, ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, Group 2, Match 18?

1. Richa Ghosh, Smriti Mandhana (vc), Gaby Lewis, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma, Laura Delany, Orla Prendergast, Radha Yadav, Cara Murray, Renuka Singh Thakur (c)

2. Amy Hunter, Smriti Mandhana, Gaby Lewis, Shafali Verma (c), Deepti Sharma, Laura Delany, Leah Paul, Orla Prendergast (vc), Cara Murray, Arlene Kelly, Renuka Singh Thakur

Pre-Match Analysis:

India Women suffered their 1st defeat of the tournament against a dominating England Women by 11 runs on Saturday. Smriti Mandhana and Richa Ghosh who scored 52 and 47 runs respectively in the run-chase didn’t help them as they fall short fighting hard in the final over. Strike rotation would have been better and they consumed a lot of dot balls which doesn’t help any side in this format of the game. Jemimah Rodrigues who played a match-winning knock against Pakistan departed early in the following 2 games. Harmanpreet Kaur’s inconsistency with the bat is causing a slight headache for them in this showpiece event. On the brighter side, Renuka Singh Thakur bowled remarkably well against England bagging the 2nd 5 wicket haul in this tournament.

Ireland Women will be just playing for pride as they are already out of the tournament, losing 3 matches in a row. They played their best game in this T20 World Cup against West Indies although they ended up on the losing side failing to defend 6 runs in the final over. Upcoming star Orla Prendergast has done well with the bat, scoring 109 runs in the last 3 matches. Gaby Lewis is their best batter who averages 28 in this competition. Skipper Laura Delany had an ordinary tournament to her standards which is the biggest reason for their downfall.
