Ireland U19s get ready for battle (CricketEurope)
Another excellent effort with the bat from the Girls in Green, building on their efforts in the morning game, posting their highest total of the series to date. Three wickets for returning skipper Mekelaye Mwatile, now can Ireland break her run of half-centuries and level the series? An 11 ball opening over gifting 14 wides not the start Ireland would have hoped for. The Eagles not far away at the halfway stage 80-1 with Mwatile still to come. Extras killing Ireland again 45 so far in just 14 overs! Mwatile to the crease and makes her presence felt immediately reducing the target to 21 off the final four overs. She falls to a Charlotte Webber catch giving Penny Speer a second wicket but the damage is done and now only 6 required from the final two overs. Aisling Lawlor takes a wicket in the nineteenth but Kayleen Green smashes the final delivery for a maximum and the win. The scorecard will tell the whole story but hard to look past those 49 extras both in terms of runs and extra deliveries. 3-1 to the Eagles with the final two matches, another double-header to come on Saturday
Ireland Women U19
Capricorn Eagles lost to Ireland in a super-over.
HP Oval, Windhoek, 28 October.
Ireland 138-7 (20 overs; Genevieve Morrissey 37*, Niamh Lowry 27, Alice Tector 26, Aisling Lawlor 19, Katie West 12; Wilka Mwatile 3-8, Handiba Sarafia 2-16, Eveleen Kejarukua 1-6, Arrasta Diergaardt 1-30) Capricorn Eagles 138-5 (20 overs; Wilka Mwatile 42*, Arrasta Diergaardt 33*, Mezerly Gorases 17, Naomi Benjamin 16, Sunè Wittmann 12; Aisling Lawlor 2-9, Lucy Andrews 1-17, Sophie Bellew 1-37)
Penny Speer was the bowling hero for Ireland in a dramatic Super Over. (CricketEurope)
Ireland opt to bat in the first of today's double-header after failing to chase in both the opening matches. Openers Rebecca Lowe and Millie Spence fall in Handiba Sarafia's first two overs before Alice Tector and Aisling Lawlor add 47 for the third wicket. Late runs from Genevieve Morrissey carries Ireland to their best total of the series - can they defend it? With Eagles regular skipper Mekelaye Mwatile, who scored 50s in each of the opening matches not in the side today, they must be hopeful. Ireland well on top at the half-way stage of the chase with the required rate pushed over 11s. But a late surge by Wilka Mwatile and Arrasta Diergaardt sees 18 required off the final Bellew over, Mwatile hits 4, 1, before Diergaardt goes 2, 4, dot, SIX to tie the game. Ninety eight scored off the second ten overs by the Eagles to salvage what looked like a lost cause. The Super Over starts with Mwatile and Wittman facing Penny Speer - 2, dot, 1, W, dot, 4 - Total 7-1. SCORING BREAKDOWN!! But the news comes through that Ireland have won.
