An outstanding display of fielding by Ireland Women helped to secure a 16-run (DLS) win – meaning the Irish visitors have taken an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the best-of-three T20 International series against Scotland at the Grange Cricket Club.

Having held Scotland to 126-8 earlier in the day, Ireland’s run-chase got off to a sprightly start - racing to 44-1 after five overs. That score was 16 runs ahead of the DLS par score and ensured Ireland victory after the threatened storms arrived that ended the game prematurely.
