After leading the three-match series 1-0, England Women are gearing up for a showdown in the second ODI against Ireland Women, scheduled to be played on Monday at Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast. Kate Cross played a starring role in England’s victory in the first game, claiming six wickets, and belting (38) unbeaten. 

She remained the solid pillar behind England’s victory in the first game. Ireland Women, after deciding to bat, scored (210) before being bowled out in 46.5 overs. Orla Prendergast was the standout performer with the bat, smashing (76) to guide the side to a respectable total.
