After winning the match against Pakistan by seven wickets, the Women in Blue are all set to take on Ireland later in the evening today. If the team wins the match against Ireland, then they will book a berth into the semifinals of the ICC T20 Women’s World Cup. The Indians are leaving no stone unturned to support the Women in Blue. Virat Kohli is one such name who sent words of encouragement and then further nominated Saina Nehwal and Rishabh Pant.

India will be desperately hoping for their opening batswoman Smriti Mandhana to come up with a big score. After failing in the opener, Mandhana got to a decent start in the second tie, but eventually failed to capitalise on it. While Harmanpreet and Mithali are expected to form the backbone of the Indian innings, the team management will be hoping to give enough match time to the likes of the other batswomen in Veda Krishnamurthy, stumper Taniya Bhatia and Dayalan Hemalatha before the tournament enters its business end.India vs Pakistan Video Highlights ICC Women's World T20 2018: Mithali Raj’s Fifty Guides India to 7-Wicket Victory.
