There is no Women's T20 World Cup action today, but Tuesday will see a double-header at the Hampshire Bowl in Southampton. New Zealand and Sri Lanka get proceedings underway, two sides who will both be desperate to secure an early foothold in what promises to be a fiercely competitive tournament.
Then, just four hours later, England will play against Ireland under the Southampton lights. Nat Sciver-Brunt's side will carry the hopes of the home crowd and arrive as heavy favourites, though Ireland have shown in recent years they are ***** ody's pushover at this level.
