The match will start at 3 pm (local time). As per the weather report, there is very little chance of rain in Gakiberha during that time.

IND-W vs IRE-W pitch report
The St. George’s Park pitch is known to offer something to both the batsmen and the bowlers. All the matches played so far in the Women’s T20 World Cup have been low-scoring. Also, India had lost their last group match against England at the same venue. Indian batsmen will have to exert themselves on this ground as it is not easy to make shots here.
IND-W vs IRE-W Probable Playing XI:
India: Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Richa Ghosh, Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Shikha Pandey, Pooja Vastrakar, Renuka Thakur
Ireland: Amy Hunter, Gabby Lewis, Louise Little, Orla Prendergast, Eamer Richardson, Arlene Kelly, Laura Delany (c), Leah Paul, Mary Waldron, Cara Murray, Jane Maguire
