Highlights | IND-W vs IRE-W, ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 Cricket Score & Updates: India win by 5 Runs Through DLS Method, Secure Semi-Final Berth

India-W Vs Ireland-W, ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 LIVE Cricket Scorecard and Updates: Indians face Ireland Women in their final match of the Group stage and a win will be enough to qualify for the semifinal today.

The Women's T20 World Cup 2023 saw the Indian team led by Harmanpreet Kaur suffer a loss against England, marking the end of their impressive run in the tournament. The team is now in a precarious position in terms of the points table, facing competition from West Indies and Pakistan for the second spot. After West Indies win on Sunday night, India just need to defeat Ireland Women team on Monday (February 20) to qualify for the semifinal.

With England almost securing their spot in the semi-finals after three consecutive wins, India must win their upcoming match against Ireland to stay in the race. Ireland, who have lost all three of their fixtures, will be playing for pride in their final match of the event.

The pitch at St. George's Park has been challenging to bat on, with the surface slowing down as the match progresses. Both teams will need to rely on their spinners to take crucial breakthroughs. In their previous encounter in the 2018 T20 World Cup, India defeated Ireland comfortably under the leadership of Mithali Raj. Harmanpreet Kaur will be hoping for a similar result to secure a spot in the semi-finals. In summary, India's hopes of progressing in the Women's T20 World Cup 2023 now rest on their upcoming match against Ireland, which they must win to stay in contention for the semi-finals.
