Pitch Report
The pitch at Dublin has been a good batting track as it was evident during the first T20I match. Some of the batters showed that if they apply themselves to the crease, then stroke-making can be easy. The skipper winning the toss might want to bowl first and restrict the opponent to a low score before chasing the target.

Probable Top Performers
Probable best batter of the match:
Gaby Lewis
Ireland skipper Gaby Lewis played an excellent knock in the first match as she stroked a well-made fifty. The right-handed batter took just 38 balls to score 52 runs. However, she unluckily got run out. The Ireland skipper will yet again have the responsibility to provide a stable start to its team in the second T20I.
Tumi Sekhukhune
Pacer Tumi Sekhukhune impressed everyone with her line and lengths during the first match of the series. The pacer bowled her full quota of four overs and scalped three wickets. The 23-year-old bowled with a lot of discipline and reaped the reward for being consistent throughout her four-over quota. Sekhukhune will want to give a winning contribution to her team in the second T20I.
