Ireland Women
1st T20I: Bangladesh v Ireland
Sylhet, 5 December.
Ireland 169/5 (20 overs: L Paul 79*, G Lewis 60)
Bangladesh 88/0 (9 overs: D Akter 38*, S Mostary 41*)
Captains Joty and Lewis with the T20 Trophy (BCB)
Fourth Toss win for Gaby Lewis who chose to bat bringing Laura Delany and Ava Canning back for Dalzell and Murray while there are SIX changes to the hosts lineup. Ireland skipper Lewis promised a more aggressive approach with the bat and that's what we got as she and Leah Paul swept their way to a 107 run partnership that has put Ireland in the driving seat. One would think it would take a very poor bowling display to lose from here. Unfortunately for the Irish that's what they're serving up in the first ten overs of the chase!
