IND-W Win By Six Wickets | India Women vs Ireland Women 1st ODI 2025 Highlights: Pratika Rawal, Tejal Hasabnis Power Women in Blue to Dominant Win, Hosts Gain 1-0 Lead

What a performance it has been from India today, especially with bat in hand! Pratika Rawal and Tejal Hasabnis were the driving forces for India in this victory with the two stitching a 116-run partnership. While Tejal Hasabnis (53) scored her maiden half-century, Pratika Rawal (89) displayed composure and aggression but unfortunately missed out on what would have been a maiden century. A fine show by India and they will look to seal the series in the next game. Ireland on the other hand, have some work to do if they are to stun India and level the series. Captain Gaby Lewis' 92, her partnership with Leah Paul (59) and Aimee Maguire's three wickets were the bright spots for them in this game and they will look to put up an improved show in the next game, on January 12.

OUT! Aimee Maguire has dismissed Pratika Rawal but it has come a bit too late for Ireland with India just seven runs away from the win. The right-hander went for another six in an attempt to get close to a century but was caught in the deep. Pratika Rawal c Orla Prendergast b Aimee Maguire 89(96)

FIFTY for Tejal Hasabnis! This is the first time she has reached the landmark and it has been a fine knock. She has produced a wonderful blend of aggression and patience in this knock and has guided India to the brink of a win along with Pratika Rawal.

The Pratika Rawal and Tejal Hasabnis partnership worth 77 runs has guided India closer to a win here. The two right-handers have played sensible cricket, pouncing on the loose balls while rotating the striker with frequency. Ireland need a miraculous turn of events to bounce back in this contest here.

FIFTY for Pratika Rawal! The right-hander has batted well today and looked good in her innings. She has had a good mix of hitting the boundaries and rotating the strike and her knock will be key for India to go on and win this match.

Things have gotten worse here for Ireland with Laura Delany off the field after she bowled two waist-high full tosses. Orla Prendergast, who is leading the side with Gaby Lewis in the dugout, has come on to complete the over, which yielded a total of 22 runs!

OUT! Jemimah Rodrigues, who was looking good during her brief stay at the crease, has been dismissed by Aimee Maguire who picks up her second wicket of the game. Rodrigues went down the track to defend the delivery but missed it altogether with the wicketkeeper taking out the stumps in quick time.

OUT! Aimee Maguire has struck and she has dismissed Harleen Deol! The right-hander miscued the big shot and once again, it is Orla Prendergast who takes the catch. Ireland have a timely wicket here.   Harleen Deol c Orla Prendergast b Aimee Maguire 20(32)

Pratika Rawal and Harleen Deol have joined forces in the middle and the two will look to consolidate and build a partnership here. India are on top but the rate of run-scoring has gone down since Smriti Mandhana's dismissal. Ireland on the other hand, will aim for a couple of wickets here to put pressure on the power-packed Indian batting herre.

OUT! Ireland have got the breakthrough they wanted and it is the wicket of Smriti Mandhana! The southpaw attempts a slog sweep but top edges the ball with Orla Prendergast taking the catch. Smriti Mandhana c Orla Prendergast b Freya Sargent 41(29)
