England Women face Ireland Women in second ODI at Derby

England Women face Ireland Women in the second One-Day International (ODI) of their three-match series at the County Ground in Derby on September 3, 2026. The match is part of the ICC Women's Championship, which serves as a qualification pathway for the 2029 ODI World Cup.

England holds a 1-0 lead in the series following a six-wicket victory in the opening match in Leicester, where Maia Bouchier scored a century to help chase down a target of 282. Historically, England has dominated the matchup with 19 wins out of 21 encounters against Ireland.

Ireland seeks to level the series and will rely on their batting lineup, which showed strength in the first match through contributions from Gaby Lewis, Amy Hunter, and Rebecca Stokell. To succeed, Ireland's bowling attack must contain England's aggressive batting order.
