The 2022 Ireland women's Tri-Nation Series was a cricket tournament that took place in Ireland in July 2022. [1] [2] It was a tri-nation series between Australia women, Ireland women and the Pakistan women cricket teams, [3] with the matches played as Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) fixtures. [4] Australia and Pakistan used the series as preparation for the cricket tournament at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England. [5]

Contents

The opening match, between Australia and Pakistan, was initially delayed due to rain and reduced to 19 overs per side. [6] Pakistan were reduced to 56/6, with Alana King taking three wickets in one over, before the rain returned and the match ended in a no result. [7] The second WT20I was between the hosts Ireland and Australia. [8] Australia won by nine wickets, inside 13 overs, with Alana King once again taking three wickets in the match. [9] Ireland played Pakistan in the third match, which was also shortened due to rain. [10] Pakistan went on to win by 13 runs, after Ireland failed to chase a revised target of 97 runs. [11]

Ireland played Australia in the fourth match of the series, with Australia winning by 63 runs. [12] Megan Schutt took her 100th wicket in WT20I cricket, [13] with Tahlia McGrath being named player of the match for the fourth consecutive match she has batted in. [14] Australia and Pakistan played each other in the fifth match, with their fixture again being washed out, after Jess Jonassen had taken 4/17 to restrict Pakstian to 94/8. [15] If four more balls had been bowled, then Australia would have won under the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method. [16] The sixth and final match, between Ireland and Australia, was washed out with no play being possible. [17] Therefore Australia won the tournament with Alana King being named as the player of the series. [18]

[22] Australia's Jess Jonassen was ruled out of the start of the series after testing positive for COVID-19. [23] As a result, Heather Graham was added to their squad as cover. [24] Prior to the series, Shauna Kavanagh withdrew herself from Ireland's squad due to personal reasons, [25] with Mary Waldron named as her replacement. [26]
