England will look to make it two in two when they face Ireland on matchday two of Group B in the 2026 ICC Women’s World Cup. This match on Tuesday at the Rose Bowl in Southampton between the first-placed hosts and the fifth-placed Irish has the usual look of England dominating their neighbours. Will the visitors bank on individual performers to keep fighting against the fancied English?
England are the 2009 champions, while Ireland have never gone past the group stage in their last four attempts in this tournament.
A breezy hundred from Danni Wyatt-Hodge (105* off 62) saw England post a mammoth 219 for 1 against Sri Lanka in their opening match. The Lankans could never get going, collapsing to 132 in the chase. Freya Kemp’s 4 for 21 hastened the result.
It was a sixth win in their last eight T20Is for England, who have tougher games up next in the group. Their two defeats in this sequence came against New Zealand and India, so England look favourites to continue the momentum.
Ireland started their campaign with a 40-run loss to Scotland in Manchester, making it 18 losses out of 18 World T20 games. The Scots posted 161 for 5, with Ava Canning picking up 3 for 27. In the chase, Amy Hunter hit 39, but Ireland folded out for 121.

Our England vs Ireland Prediction
England got their home tournament off to a flying start, thrashing Sri Lanka by 87 runs. In a group that has just two guaranteed spots for knockouts, the margin of victory could prove handy in the final analysis. Ireland have never qualified past the group stage, and after their heavy loss to Scotland in the first game, it looks a tall order in this tournament.
The hosts are heavy favourites to win, which makes us look at the individual markets for value. Our England vs Ireland prediction is Orla Prendergast over 18.5 runs.
