Yesterday was the first match of the ODI series between Ireland Women vs South Africa Women, the match was played in 47 overs. Ireland Women batted first but Ireland Women batsmen could not perform well, they performed badly like in the T20 series. In the end Ireland Women scored 209 runs in the allotted overs which was not enough to win, they needed to score more runs to win against South Africa Women. The target was very low due to which South Africa Women chased the target easily. However, South Africa Women won the T20 series 2-0, now they are leading the series 1-0 by winning the 1st match of the ODI series. Actually, South Africa Women are comparatively strong, so I think South Africa Women will win the ODI series 3-0.
Undoubtedly, the South Africa women's team is stronger than the Ireland women's team. That has been proven in their performance. However, the Ireland women's batsmen should have performed more responsibly. Since it is a ODI format game and not an T20 format game. Of course, a responsible performance was needed. In the first ODI match, the Ireland women's team came out to bat and lost a wicket at the beginning, but Sarah Forbes Amy Hunter was responsible for the team. Miane Smit Suné Luus batted very responsibly against the target of 210 runs given by Ireland. Miane Smit is unbeaten on 56 runs off 70 balls and Suné Luus is unbeaten on 66 runs off 72 balls. Miane Smit Suné Luus batted very responsibly, so they won the first ODI match by seven wickets against Ireland. Tomorrow, the South Africa women's team and the Ireland women's team will face each other again. If the South Africa women's team performs like this in the second ODI match, they will easily win against the Island. Therefore, the Ireland women's team should bat very responsibly so that even if they cannot win the match against the South Africa women's team, they should try to make the game competitive.
Both the players and bowlers of the SA Women's team struggled with better performance and took an easy target and their players achieved the target with hard work and achieved the win. Congratulations to SA Women for this winning because of the way their team performed well and achieved the win. SA Women won the first game itself and the performance of Ireland Women was not better. Today's target was not so strong and better for win. If they had struggled in those same 47 overs, their bowlers could have also put pressure. Ireland Women's players scored runs quickly and achieved the target and achieved the win. SA Women's struggle has made itself a better performance after better decision-making with a lot of improvement in performance.
