Ireland U19 Women had a mixed campaign with the headline win over Pakistan securing Super Six berth, but suffered disappointing losses to South Africa, USA and Nigeria.
The batting stats make for some pretty grim reading with not one player hitting a six, and managing just 20 fours all tournament - 13 of those by the Clontarf duo of Alice Walsh (7) and Freya Sargent (6).
The pair were the leading run scorers with 57 at 14.25 and 44 at 8.80. Walsh was one of only two batters to score at more than a run a ball - Millie Spence was the other, with the two the only players to average in double figures.
Ireland's bowlers fared slightly better on pitches where scoring proved tricky for most except winners India.
Lara McBride and Ellie McGee topped the charts with five wickets apiece, while Kia McCartney and Freya Sargent took three apiece.
It won't go down as a memorable on-field success, but there's no doubt that all the squad will benefit from the exposure and the experience of Asian conditions.
