India Clinches Series with ODI Win Over Ireland

India's women's cricket team secured a commanding 116-run victory over Ireland in the second ODI, clinching the series 2-0, thanks to Jemimah Rodrigues' maiden century (102 off 91 balls) and Deepti Sharma's 3/37 bowling figures. India set a formidable total of 370/5, with significant contributions from Smriti Mandhana (73 off 54 balls), Pratika Rawal (67 off 61 balls), and Harleen Deol (89 off 84 balls). Ireland, despite a steady start and a notable 80 from Christina Coulter Reilly, could only reach 254/7. The match highlighted India's strong batting partnerships, including a 156-run stand between Mandhana and Rawal, and a 183-run partnership between Rodrigues and Deol. In the first ODI, India also triumphed with a six-wicket win, driven by a 116-run partnership between Rawal and Tejal Hasabnis, with Mandhana achieving the milestone of 4,000 ODI runs. India's fielding, however, remains an area needing improvement as they dropped multiple catches in both matches.
