Ireland Women sealed their berth at the T20 World Cup with a comprehensive victory by 62 runs against Thailand.

Batting first, Amy Hunter hit five boundaries in a brisk 15-ball 24 as she and skipper Gaby Lewis added 34 in the powerplay.

Lewis top-scored with 26 confirming her status as the tournament's leading run scorer (276), while Orla Prendergast - the third of the Big Three weighed in with 23.

From 71 for 1 at the midway point, the Girls in Green lost their way as they slumped to 96 for 7, with the middle-order recording a succession of single figure scores with Suleeporn Laomi picking up four wickets.

Jane Maguire and Louise Little - winning her 50th cap -  both made 15 as Ireland ended on 121 for 8.

Any worries Ireland may have held at the innings break were soon dispelled as Orla Prendergast and Lara McBride struck in the first two overs.

Thailand staged a mini-recovery reaching 48 for 3 before the wheels fell off in spectacular fashion as they lost their last seven wickets for just 11 runs to be all out for 59.

Arlene Kelly - winning her 100th cap - was the destroyer-in-chief taking four for seven earning her the Player of the Match accolade, while The Hills duo of Lara McBride and Aimee Maguire claimed a combined five scalps in a fine 62-run victory.

So, a case of mission accomplished for Lloyd Tenant's side after a mid-tournament wobble. 

They're still far from the finished article, but the displays of the last two matches will certainly give them something to build on at the World Cup later this summer in England.

In the other games, Scotland claimed the final qualification slot with a win over USA, while Bangaldesh claimed the trophy as they topped the table with a convincing victory over Netherlands.
