Ireland Women v Pakistan Women - Ireland Tri-Nation Women's T20 Series - 2nd Match – Ireland post 81 for six – Live Score and Update
Ireland Women 81/6 (20/20 ov) - Pakistan Women won the toss and chose to field
In the second match of the ongoing Tri-Nation Women's T20 Series in Ireland, the hosts after being put into bat by Pakistan, managed to amass a meagre total of 81 runs, on Wednesday, August 29, at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground, Dublin.
Irish openers, CMA Shillington and CNIM Joyce forged a stand of 23 runs before the home side suffered the loss of their first wicket on the demise of Shillington, who was stumped off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sana-Mir-c88459 on a score of 10.
Joyce then crafted an intimidating partnership alongside EAJ Richardson to take the score to 56, with both batswomen hammering the Pakistani girls all around the park.
Finally, Nida Dar caught and bowled http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Richardson-c85395 to break the threatening partnership, with the batswoman finding her way off the field after scoring 15 runs off 20 deliveries.
With 61 on the board, Bismah Maroof struck gold for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 by nabbing the wicket of Joyce, who fell after belting a knock of 29 off 48 deliveries.
Sadia Yousuf then decided it was time for her to chip in, as she dismissed Ireland’s fourth batswoman, KJ Garth (5), with 72 on the board.
This triggered Ireland’s batting collapse, as with 78 runs, the hosts lost their fifth wicket on the departure of L Delany, who became Mir’s second victim of the day after scoring only nine runs off 22 balls.
Having lost their opening match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747, Ireland desperately needed to put enough runs on the board to give their bowlers a chance of going for the win.
However, with the Pakistani bowlers running wild, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 found it extremely difficult to maintain a steady flow of runs.
Later, Mir grabbed MV Waldron to complete her three-wicket haul, and restrict the hosts on a small total.
The Pakistani skipper was backed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bismah-Maroof-c48136, who all grabbed one wicket a piece to ruin Ireland’s chances of piling a stiff total.
