IREW vs WIW Match Prediction & Analysis
Ireland Women take on West Indies Women this Friday in match five of the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier in Lahore. Both sides dropped their opening games and now need a win to stay in the hunt. West Indies have had the upper hand in past meetings—it's been over two decades since they last lost to Ireland, back in 2003. That history puts them ahead going into this one.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Ireland Women Preview
Ireland Women didn’t have the ideal start to their World Cup Qualifier run. After doing well to keep Pakistan to 217 in Lahore, they fell short in the chase, ending with 179. The result didn’t go their way, but there were still some encouraging signs.
Gaby Lewis and Amy Hunter both made 44, providing a decent base in the middle. Orla Prendergast added 37, but the rest of the batting lineup couldn’t keep the momentum going on a sluggish pitch.
Going forward, Ireland will hope for better returns from Laura Delany and Sarah Forbes to help the trio of Lewis, Hunter, and Prendergast.
With the ball, Jane Maguire led the effort against Pakistan, finishing with 3-33 from her 10 overs. Arlene Kelly and Cara Murray also kept things tight and grabbed two wickets each, while Prendergast bowled economically with the new ball.
Their bowling looks well-suited for these conditions and could be effective against West Indies too.
Ireland Women Predicted Playing XI:
Sarah Forbes, Gaby Lewis (c), Amy Hunter (wk), Orla Prendergast, Laura Delany, Leah Paul, Coulter Reilly, Louise Little, Arlene Kelly, Jane Maguire, Cara Murray

West Indies Women Preview
West Indies Women won’t be happy with how things went in their opener against Scotland Women. Chasing 245 in Lahore, they fell short by 12 runs, bowled out for 233. Hayley Matthews put up a brilliant fight with an unbeaten 114, but she had little . Only Zaida James (45) stuck around long enough to make a difference, while the rest collapsed after early promise.
They’ll want to fix that going forward. Matthews will continue to be the anchor, but players like Shemaine Campbelle, Stafanie Taylor, and Chinelle Henry need to deliver. Campbelle has been in solid touch lately, with 217 runs in her last 10 games—we’re backing her to get at least 30 in this one.
With the ball, Matthews led again, picking up 4 for 56 from her 10 overs. Aaliyah Alleyne and Karishma Ramharack ed well, taking two wickets each. Chinelle Henry and Zaida James didn’t manage any breakthroughs with the new ball, but now that they’ve had a feel of the pitch, they should come back stronger in the next outing.
West Indies Women Predicted Playing XI:
Hayley Matthews (c), Qiana Joseph, Shemaine Campbelle (wk), Stafanie Taylor, Chinelle Henry, Shabika Gajnabi, Zaida James, Aaliyah Alleyne, Cherry Ann Fraser, Afy Fletcher, Karishma Ramharack

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Gaddafi Stadium offers a firm surface with noticeable cracks developing across the center wicket. Morning moisture is expected, but it should evaporate quickly after 10 am. Batters who survive initial movement will find consistent bounce and value for shots. Spinners gain traction in the middle overs due to surface abrasion. Wind direction favors outswing bowling from the pavilion end.
The weather in Lahore will be slightly cloudy and breezy on Friday. But there is no rain threat so we will get a full game.

Average Turn
The average score batting first is 236 in women’s ODIs. The highest total posted at the venue is Pakistan Women’s 335-3 versus Ireland Women in 2022. Both teams will be looking to set a score of around 230-245 runs in this game to feel confident.
Toss: To Bat
Batting first seems to be advantageous at the Gaddafi Stadium as we saw in the first game of the tournament, as the wicket tends to slow down in the second innings.

Winning Prediction
Even with a rough start in the first match, West Indies Women have every reason to back themselves against Ireland Women—they haven’t lost to them in eight ODIs. Their main concern is how heavily they lean on Hayley Matthews. A quiet outing from her could really hurt them. Ireland’s top-order has some quality, but the rest of their batting doesn’t inspire much trust. If their bowlers repeat the effort from Game 1, though, it could get interesting. Still, with the head-to-head record in mind, it’s hard to look past West Indies as the safer pick.
We are backing West Indies Women as the winners of this match.
