29 January Women's Under 19 T20 World Cup, Group 2: Nigeria v Ireland (Bangi)
Women's Under 19 T20 World Cup, Group B: : Ireland beat Pakistan by 13 runs (DLS)
Johor, 22 January.
Ireland 69/5 (9 overs A Walsh 31; M Khalid 2-6)
Pakistan 59/7 (9 overs: E McGee 2-13) (Rain interrupted - reduced to 9 overs per side. Pakistan target 73)
The end of Alice Walsh (ICC)
Bright start by Ireland with the rain interruption coming at 25/1 off 3.1 overs. Ireland with 35 more balls to face in their reduced innings play tip and run, all a bit frantic. Five boundaries for Alice Walsh in a 19 ball innings before she drags on from way outside off stump. Two wickets off the final two deliveries for Memoona Khalid sets her side a DLS adjusted target of 73 for a place in the Super Sixes. Confident start to the chase by Pakistan but agressive running costs them their first wicket with a TV review to decide if they'd crossed.Two more run outs, good returns well gathered by Freya Sargent swings the game Ireland's way. 30 required off the final 3 overs and no inroads being made by Pakistan. Now it's 26 off 12. Five singles and a wicket off Ellie McGee leaves Pakistan needing 21 off the final over and they manage only 7.
Women's Under 19 T20 World Cup, Group B: : Ireland lost to USA by 9 wickets
Johor, 20 January.
Ireland 75 (17.4 overs: A Walsh 16, A Harrison 13, L McBride 13; F Sargent 10; I Vaghela 3-10, R Singh 2-8, A Chudasama 2-16)
USA 79/1 (9.4 overs: D Dhingra 46, C Pagydyala 23*; L McBride 1-0)
A second ball dismissal for Ellie McGee (ICC)
USA recorded a thumping victory over Ireland in what is likely to be the battle for the final Super Sixes spot in Group B. After an inauspicious display with the bat, the Girls in Green wilted with the ball as Disha Dhingra carried the USA to the brink of victory with a 33 ball innings that included 5x4 & 2x6. With the scores tied she was bowled by Lara McBride in just the tenth over of what was in the end a one-sided match. It would be easy to pass this off as 'a day to forget' for Ireland, but it may be more useful for them to make it a 'day to remember'.
Women's Under 19 T20 World Cup, Group B: : England v Ireland - Abandoned, No Result
Johor, 18 January.
England 144/7 (20 Overs: J Spence 37, C Stubbs 31, D Perrin 26, C Lambert 25; E Magee 2-20)
Ireland 28/2 (3.5 overs: R Lowe 16*, A Walsh 10)
Ireland celebrate a wicket (ICC)
A challenging total set by England after being asked to bat by Ireland and a disastrous start to the chase with Freya Sargent running herself out without facing. New batter Rebecca Lowe is almost bowled first ball missing a sweep, Walsh charges up the pitch to run the Bye and Lowe avoids being run out only because the keeper's throw hits her as she attempts to make it to the bowler's end! Then with rain falling, Walsh slapped the ball to mid off and set off for a non-existent single, a direct hit saw her yards short - Madness! Three balls later the umpires called a halt for rain and with only 7 more deliveries required to achieve a DLS result time ran out for a restart leaving the sides with a point each. No prizes for guessing who was the happier side with that result.
