Super Sixes: Ireland v Netherlands

Mulpani, 30 January.
Ireland 143-9 (20 overs; L Paul 39, A Hunter 34, G Lewis 20; H Landheer 3-35, C de Lange 2-15)
Netherlands 45 (14.5 overs; J Maguire 3-9, O Prendergast 3-13, L McBride 2-9)
Jane Maguire congratulated (ICC)
Qranje squashed! The Girls in Green finally came to the party with a dominant display over the Netherlands, the winning margin ensuing they leapfrogged Scotland on NRR to third place in the table. A solid total with the bat, Leah Paul top scoring with 39 and Amy Hunter up and running again with 34 at the top of the order, meant the Dutch would have a stiff challenge. In the chase opener Iris Zwilling was the only player to reach double figure with just 10, as six wickets fell for just five runs and the score crashed to 26-8. Orla Prendergast's early wickets of Phebe Molkenboer, Babette De Leede and Robin Rijke first ball, earned her the POTM award while Jane Maguire finished with the slighly better figures of 3-9.

Afghanistan 184-3 (37 overs; Khan Faisal 98*, U Niazai 26, M Khan 36*)
Ireland
Wicket apiece for Reuben Wilson, Tom Ford and Olly Riley as Afghanistan build a decent platform on 149 for 3 at the 30-over mark. Wickets needed quickly for Ireland or else they will be chasing a formidable total.

Super Sixes: Bangladesh v Scotland

Kirtipur, 30 January.
Bangladesh 191-5 (20 overs; S Joty 56*, S Mostary 47, D Akter 39, J Ferdous 22)
Scotland 101-9 (20 overs; P Spoul 27*, M McColl 20; M Akter 3-25, Shorna Akter 2-13)
Runs all down the order from the unbeaten table toppers, skipper Sultana Joty top-scoring with an unbeaten half-century. Just single wickets for Priyanaz Chatterji, Chloe Abel and Katherine Fraser, each at a cost of forty runs. The Scottish challenge never materialised with Darcy Carter caught behind first ball and all the big guns out at 35-5 in the seventh over, Marufa Akter doing the damage. It was only late runs from Megan McColl and Pippa Sproul which put a veneer of respectability on a bad day at the off for the Scots.

Group 1: South Africa lost to Sri Lanka by 5 wickets.

Queens, Bulawayo, 29 January.
South Africa 261-7 (50 overs; J van Schalkwyk 118, A Lagadien 46, P James 37, M Kruiskamp 21*; V Akash 4-46, K Gamage 2-61)
Sri Lanka 265-5 (46 overs; V Chamuditha 110, S Wekunagoda 48, V Dinsara 32; C Botha 2-37, M Kruiskamp 2-59)
Viran Chamuditha (ICC)
Two wickets with big googlies from Vigneshwaran Akash after an opening partnership of 96 for Sourth Africa. Jason Rowles comes down the pitch but holes out at long-on to give Chamika Heentigala his first wicket. A magnificent century from Jorich van Schalkwyk the highlight of what South Africa hope will be a winning score. Akash finishes with four wickets no one reading his mixture of legspin and googlies. Sri Lanka going full stem ahead in the chase, almost half way there in just twenty overs for the loss of only one wicket. Wekunagada chops on to end a partnership worth 143. Just a glimmer of hope for South Africa as Corne Botha finds the inside edge of Chamunditha's bat and a flying Phahlamohlaka holds a juggling catch. That will slow things up a bit, but Sri Lanka are well ahead of the asking rate. South Africa nibble another wicket, anothr diving catch behind and a second wicket for Michael Kruiskamp. Sri Lanka cruising to the win with just 30 runs required off the final 10 overs and end it with four overs to spare. South Africa finish a disappointing campaign with just the single win over Tanzania in the Group stage. Sri Lanka move into second place in the table but a win for Afghanistan over Ireland will see them into the semi-finals on NRR.
Men's Under 19 World Cup
Group 1: Australia beat West Indies by 22 runs.

Harare Sports Club, 28 January.
Australia 314-7 (50 overs; O Peake 109, N Samuel 56, P Malajczuk 48, L Young 45, J Draper 29; J Pollard 2-37, R'Jai Gittens 2-45)
West Indies 292-9 (49.4 overs; Z Carter 64, J Dorne 62, J Andrew 44, K Tilokani 35, T Francis 27, J Van Lange 26; C Lachmund 4-66, A Sharma 2-47, H Schiller 2-54)
Ollie Peake run out by the smallest of margins
Aussie skipper Ollie Peake who plays for the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash, run out off the last ball of the innings for 109, but the 300+ total should be more than enough for the win. West Indies have other plans and the top order all getting in and keeping the rate manageable but so far only Zachary Carter has passed 50. It will take someone to push things along in the final twenty overs if the Windies are come close. Two hundred comes up but the last 50 runs have been the slowest of the innings with the required rate now up to 8s. Dorne and Tilokani looking for 83 off the last ten overs and Tilokani edges an expansive drive to the keeper. Four dots from Schiller draws a pull from Dorne only for him to chop on - a wicket maiden, priceless. Twenty-nine required off the final two overs - Windies going down swinging. Two wickets in two balls for left-arm spinner Aryan Sharma leaves 26 off 6 required. Three singles and a wicket for Lachmund sees Australia 22 run winners. That slow middle phase of the game put the Windies behind the clock and the latter batsmen perished trying to make up for lost time.
Women's World T20 Qualifier
Super Sixes: Netherlands beat USA by 21 runs (DLS).

Kirtipur, 28 January.
USA 129-7 (20 overs; G Bhogle 36, I Vaghela 32; H Landheer 3-30, C de Lange 2-27)
Netherlands 90-2 (12 overs; P Molkenboer 46*, H Siegers 28)
Dutch celebrate claiming their World Cup place.
Strike bowler Isobel vd Woning missing today for family reasons, could be a big loss to the Netherlands hoping to go three from three today and secure their place in the World Cup Finals. But not so as her replacement Hannah Landheer takes three wickets, two for Caroline de Lange. Rapid start to the chase from Phoebe Molkenboer and Heather Siegers, boundaries flowing in the Powerplay. Fifty-seven on the board before Siegers departs with 3x6s in her 12 ball 28. Rain brings an end to proceedings with the Netherlands comfortably ahead on DLS. The rain can't stop the Dutch celebrations, pressure off them now, Ireland will be hoping that works in their favour on Friday.
Women's World T20 Qualifier
Super Sixes: Scotland beat Ireland by 39 runs.

Kirtipur, 28 January.
Scotland 160-5 (20 overs; S Bryce 47, K Fraser 36, K Bryce 30, M McColl 27*; J Maguire 2-20)
Ireland 121 (19.2 overs; G Lewis 41; K Bryce 4-21, A Maqsood 2-23, P Chatterji 2-23)
Jane Maguire bowled well for Ireland (ICC)
Ireland's hopes of a stress free finish to the T20 World Cup Qualifiers were dealt a blow after they were totally outplayed by Scotland losing by 39 runs. Put in to bat, Scotland were given a steady start by Kathryn Fraser (36) and Kathryn Bryce (30). Jane Maguire (2-20) pegged them back, but a late burst saw 31 runs added in the last two overs as Sarah Bryce (47) and Megan McColl (27*) shared a fifth wicket stand of 49 to boost their total to a formidable 160 for 5. The Irish chase never really got going, losing wickets early and steadily throughout. Gaby Lewis made a defiant 41 but in truth Ireland were well beaten by a fitter, hungrier side.. Kathryn Bryce took four wickets to make the Player of the Match a formality, while there were two apiece for Priyanz Chatterji and Abtha Maqsood. Ireland now have two games remaining - Netherlands on Friday and Thailand on Sunday. Two wins will still see them qualify, and indeed, if results go their way in the other games, a win over Thailand may be enough. Not quite last chance saloon, but a vast improvement required over the next few days.
Women's World T20 Qualifier
Super Sixes: Bangladesh beat Thailand by 39 runs.

Mulpani, 28 January.
Bangladesh 165-8 (20 runs; S Mostary 59, J Ferdous 56; T Putthawong 3-22, O Kamchomphu 2-29)
Thailand 126-8 (20 overs; N Chantham 46, N Chaiwal 30, N Koncharoenkai 29; M Akter 3-25, R Moni 2-20, Shorna Akter 2-21)
Juairiya Ferdous clears the ropes. (ICC)
No surprise upset as unbeaten Bangladesh beat the winless Thailand. A century partnership between Sobhana Mostary and Juairiya Ferdous the basis of their winning total with Thipatcha Putthawong claiming three wickets in the push for runs in the closing overs of the innings. The Thai reply started badly as they lost Suwanan first ball but runs and despite runs from the next three to the crease were never up with the rate. No wag from the tail, all perishing in the search for runs.
