The eyes of India in the semi-finals in the Women's World T20 | Cricket News

GUYANA: Independents of the finals, India will need to guard against complacency when she faces Ireland in her third Group B match of the Women's T20 of ICC on Thursday.

India has beaten its first two games, including against Pakistan, its rival, two days ago.

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur declared the opening of the tournament with his flamboyant hundred against New Zealand in Providence, same place where India will face Ireland.

Ireland, by contrast, lost to Australia and Pakistan.

India will play the game against the Irish as an overwhelming favorite, but Kaur is aware that his team can not afford to take things for granted at this mega-event.

Ireland cricket is known for its fighting abilities. Taking them lightly will not be the solution for India, with a qualification for the last four knocking at their door.

After fainting in Pakistan a few days after the great victory against the New Zealanders, India will hope to have a chance at Providence nevertheless.

If Kaur was the star of the first victory, the team's most experienced activist, Mithali Raj, showed the way in the victory of the one-stop shop against Pakistan.

As Jemimah Rodrigues began his career in the T20 with a beautiful half-century, Smriti Mandhana and Veda Krishnamurthy will be looking to score points against Ireland.

In bowling, Dyalan Hemalatha and Poonam Yadav, the player who plays in the leg, shined with up to now 10 wickets and the sailors will look to embark on the next games.

Teams (from):

India: Harmanpreet Kaur (Capt), Smriti Mandhana, Mithali Raj, Jemim Rodrigues, Veda Krishnamurthy, Deepti Sharma, Taniya Bhatia, Poonam Yadav, Radha Yadav, Anuja Patil and Ekta Bishan Pooja Vastrakar, Arundhati Reddy
