Despite a battling all-round display led by Eimear Richardson, Ireland Women suffered an opening day defeat in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier against Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi.

Bangladesh captain Niger Sultana Joty’s 67, along with the bowling of Salam Khatun (3-18) were the stand-out performers for Ireland’s opponents in a game that was played out in very humid conditions, and under the lights at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
