Pitch Report

|---|---|
| Venue | Castle Avenue, Dublin. SAME surface for 4th consecutive match. |
| Pitch Type | WELL-USED (4th match). Surface has been CONSISTENT: WI posted 199/6 (Match 2), PAK posted 176/6 (Match 3), IRE chased 177/3 (Match 3). Batting IS possible (Stokell 60*, Matthews 40, Glasgow 42, Taylor 39). But WI dismissed IRE cheaply in Match 1. QUALITY matters more than surface. |
| Average 1st Innings Score | 155-175 (WT20Is at Castle Avenue this series). 160+ competitive. 180+ dominant. Below 130 risky. |
| Pace vs Spin | PACE in powerplay (Canning + McBride for IRE; Henry 2/13 + Connell for WI). SPIN middle-death (Fletcher 100+ wkts + Ramharack for WI; Paul + Kelly for IRE). 4th match = surface SLOWER = spin MORE effective. |
| Toss Factor | BOWL FIRST marginally (WI bowled first in Match 1 and chased with 51 balls remaining). Chasing preferred. |
| Conditions | 4:00 PM local. 15-19°C. COOL Dublin afternoon. Cloud cover possible. Irish conditions. |

IRE-W vs WI-W 4th T20I Toss Prediction
The toss winner should bowl first. WI bowled first in Match 1 and chased with 51 balls remaining. Chasing = know what’s par. Cloud cover assists seamers early.
If Orla Prendergast (IRE) wins, she may bat first (CHANGE from Match 1 where IRE batted and posted LOW). After Stokell 60*(42) + chasing 177 vs PAK = IRE’s batting CONFIDENCE is higher. Post 160+ with Stokell + Prendergast + Hunter. Then Canning + Kelly + McBride defend.
If Hayley Matthews (WI) wins, she bowls first (SAME as Match 1). Deploy Henry (2/13 POTM vs PAK) + Connell pace vs Hunter + Stokell (60* but vs PAK not WI). Then Fletcher (100+ wkts) + Ramharack spin middle overs. Restrict IRE below 140 (IRE posted LOW in Match 1 vs WI). Then Matthews (40) + Dottin + Glasgow (42) + Taylor (39) chase.
Injury Updates
Ireland Women: Laura Delany INJURED (OUT of tri-series + T20 WC).
West Indies Women: UNBEATEN (2-0).
