Ireland U19 Women recorded a thumping 114-run win over Scotland in a T20 warm-up in Dubai ahead of their World Cup that gets underway later in the month in Malaysia.

Opener Alice Walsh led the way with a top score of 64 from 55 balls that included seven boundaries as the Irish posted 158 for 4 in their 20 overs.

Lisburn's Rebecca Lowe (23) shared an opening stand of 54 with Walsh, who also added 56 for the third wicket with Lara McBride - who made a run-a-ball 22 - while there were runs too for Annabel Squires (19*) in an impressive display.

Ireland captain Niamh MacNulty

The Scottish reply never got going as they were bundled out for just 44 by a rampant bowling effort.

There were wickets for the North West triumvirate of Jenny Jackson (2-7), Millie Spence (2-3), and Kia McCartney (1-10), while new skipper Niamh McNulty also picked up two, with Rush's Ellie McGee (1-10) the other successful bowler in a fine all-round effort.
