Ireland’s Gaby Lewis and Player of the Match Amy Hunter combined for a 91-run partnership as they guided their side to a 9-wicket victory over the USA at the Tolerance Oval in Abu Dhabi.

It was a day when the senior players stood up following yesterday’s stinging defeat to Bangladesh. Captain Laura Delany took 1-7 from four overs with the ball - along with a run out and three catches in the field, Eimear Richardson again bowled superbly with 2-19 from four overs and Arlene Kelly 2-17 from her four overs.
