  • Ireland won by five wickets with one ball remaining in their last women’s T20I against England after losing each of their three previous encounters in the format; though, these teams haven’t faced each other in a women’s T20I since September 2024.
  • The only previous encounter between England and Ireland at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup was in February 2023 when England won by four wickets, a 51-run knock of Alice Capsey earning her Player of the Match on the day and helping England to the win with 34 balls remaining.

  • Natalie Sciver-Brunt (England) has scored a boundary once in every 3.1 deliveries at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, the fastest of any player from a Group B team (min. 20 balls faced); she’s scored 40+ runs in three of her last five T20I innings overall but scored just five runs in her only previous innings against Ireland (13 February 2023).
  • Orla Prendergast (Ireland) took scored 80 runs and logged bowling figures of 2/31 when England and Ireland last met in a women’s T20I (15/09/2024); in fact, she’s scored a half-century of runs in each of her last two innings against England in the format (52, 80).
