IRE-W 69/1 in 17 Overs (Target 371) | India Women vs Ireland Women Live Score Updates of 2nd ODI 2025: Pressure of Run Rate Mounts as Sarah Forbes, Christina Coulter Reilly Stitch Steady Stand

Christina Coulter Reilly and Sarah Forbes have stitched a steady 37-run partnership but while it has ensured that Ireland do not lose wickets, it has done little to keep them in the run chase. The pressure of the required run rate keeps increasing and India are in total control here.

Ireland are 40/1 at the end of 10 overs and it is not a good start, especially with a target of 371 to chase down. The Indian bowlers have kept things pretty tight and not allowed Ireland to score at a brisk pace.

OUT! India have their first wicket and it is the big one of Gaby Lewis! The right-hander got the faintest of edges and after she used a DRS, the dismissal was confirmed with the on-field umpire Vrinda Rathi doing well to give it out in the first place. A big blow for Ireland as Gaby Lewis was in good form. Gaby Lewis c Richa Ghosh b Sayali Satghare 12(19)

Harleen Deol and Smriti Mandhana missed out on the centuries but deserve much credit for the massive total from the hosts. This is India Women's highest ODI total surpassing the record of 358 runs set in 2017, ironically against the same team.

FIFTY!  Consecutive fifty for Pratika Rawal in this series. She has been in great touch since making her ODI debut. Fluent innings from her where she smashed boundaries on the poor balls. The best part of her innings was that she rotated strikes easily and never let build pressure from her end, which has made her partner Smriti Mandhana's life easy. The duo has stitched a century stand, and the Ireland women's bowlers are left clueless so far. The visitors are in search of a desperate wicket.

FIFTY! A brilliant knock from the India stand-in captain as Mandhana brings up her fifty off just 35 balls. She missed her fifty in the first ODI, but it was a matter of time to reach this milestone. She has been in exceptional form and is continuing that. After getting set, Mandhana will now aim for a century.
