Australia, Pakistan and hosts Ireland will square off in the Ireland Tri-Nation Women's T20I Series 2022, which will be held from Saturday, July 16 to Sunday, July 24.
In the three-nation cricket series, each team will play the other team twice, making it six matches in a duration of eight days.
All the matches will be played from 4.30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST) or 12.00 PM local time. The Bready Cricket Club in Bready, Northern Ireland will host all the fixtures.
The Australian Women’s cricket team is coming into this series on the back of a 1-0 win over England in a T20I series held in January this year. While the Aussies won the first game by a thumping nine wickets, the second and third ended in no result due to heavy downpour.
The Pakistan Women played a three-match T20I series in Sri Lanka in May 2022 and beat the hosts 3-0. They registered wins by six wickets, seven wickets and four wickets, displaying complete domination. They will be high on confidence with these results.
The hosts, Ireland, faced South Africa in a three-match T20I series in their own home soil, but lost 2-1. While Ireland won the first game by 10 runs, South Africa came back to win the series with two back-to-back eight wicket wins.
