West Indies Women have a great chance to qualify for the knockout stages, knowing that a win against Ireland Women will see them through to the last four of the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup, when the two sides go head-to-head at the County Ground in Bristol on Saturday, June 27.
West Indies come into the game after losing to hosts England in their previous fixture. However, they still have their destiny in their own hands as they currently sit two points clear of third-placed New Zealand, who face the Lionesses
in their last game of the group stage.
Ireland, on the other hand, have suffered defeats in each of their four matches in this tournament. The Women in Green will want to end a disappointing campaign on a high note, which includes a loss to Scotland Women.
