India Women being led by the experienced Smriti Mandhana put up a stellar performance in the opening match, chasing down 238 in 34.3 overs.

Pratika Rawal and Tejal Hasabnis blazed (89) and (53*) respectively to guide the side to victory.  Earlier, Smriti Mandhana gave India a cracking start, scoring (41 off 29).

Despite the loss in the first game, Ireland Women are expected to come out strong in the second ODI.
