Jane Maguire with an early wicket for Ireland, Prendergast with the 2nd and Canning the 3rd as the Scots struggled in the powerplay. But a dominant second half to their innings propelled Scotland to an impressive total as the Irish bowling and catching again cracked when put under pressure enabling them to add 52 in the final five overs, skipper Katheryn Bryce finishing a magnificent 131 not out. Good opening partnership ends at 109 and Amy Hunter goes first ball. Wickets falling with no one able to go on - all down to Laura Delany in the closing overs, and Jane Maguire who is swinging at everything! Two missed run outs saves Maguire and Delany dropped - Scotland throwing this away! But Lister catches Maguire to leave 7 needed off Kathryn Bryce's final over. Dot, 1, 4 first ball from Canning! W (bowled), lb scores tied, lb wins it!

Ireland piled up the runs against the weakest side in the Qualifier - an 88 run opening partnership between Sarah Forbes and Gaby Lewis followed by another, Lewis and Amy Hunter adding 56. Ireland with their usual top six today, but three changes down the order Louise Little, Sophia MacMahon and a debut for Kia McCartney, in for Christina Coulter-Reilly, Arlene Kelly and Jane Maguire. Laura Delany and Leah Paul added 86 in the final ten overs. No real pressure on the bowlers today but disappointing for them to allow Thailand to post 250+, including a partnership of 90 for the fifth wicket, when they had been bowled out for just 93 by Bangladesh and 148 by Scotland. A win's a win and at this stage Ireland will take anything. Five wickets for Louise Little, will that keep her in the side for the final game against Scotland?

A more aggressive batting approach paid off for Ireland with contribution all down the order after the early dismissal of Sarah Forbes. With Laura Delany posting a half century in a 72 run partnership with Orla Prendergast and late runs from Arlene Kelly Ireland’s total of 235 looked to have given them a real chance of victory. With early strikes from Orla Prendergast and disciplined bowling Bangladesh found themselves struggling to keep themselves in the game. Wickets fell at regular intervals and coming into the final five overs needing 38 Bangladesh had Ritu Moni to thank for the win as she added 32 to her personal total finishing the game with an imperious six over long on with eight balls to spare. Questions though as to why Orla Prendergast bowled only 6 of her possible 10 overs in such a vital game.

Delayed start and match reduced to 33 overs with Ireland choosing to field. Ireland dragging things back after a Hayley Matthews opening blast. West Indies looked to accelerate after drinks with a Taylor and James stand worth 85 going into the last 10. Not a time for one of Ireland’s worst displays in the field but that’s what we saw. Great start to the chase with Hunter quickly to 30 and Lewis also looking fluent in their half century opening stand. How quickly things change once the Big Three departed. Delany and Coulter-Reilly ticking along - 60 required off 8 overs. Hanging in there but losing wickets and 26 needed from 24 balls. Down to the last last pair and 8 needed off 6 balls. Kelly goes for glory trying to clear the ropes but caught at long-on. Beaten by six runs. That awful fielding effort has cost them.

Ireland threw away the chance to record a win in their opening fixture with an all too familiar batting collapse. A strong display in the field saw Ireland restrict Pakistan to a sub-par total of 217. Sidra Ameen and Aliya Riaz had added 72 for the third wicket but after their departure the pressure told and they lost their last five wickets for just 23 runs. With both Gaby Lewis and Amy Hunter posting 44 Ireland were well placed in the chase but both fell in quick succession sweeping at spinner Sandhu before Laura Delany followed without scoring in identical fashion to give Sandhu her third. Four wickets falling for 14 runs left Ireland last two wickets requiring fifty runs and that was never going to happen.

A double wicket maiden by ninth bowler Alana Dalzell swung things Ireland's way after Thailand had reached 149/4 in the 35th over. Amy Hunter and Orla Prendergast go cheaply in a rejigged batting order, but Sarah Forbes did well for her 31 before retiring. Leah Paul and Christine Coulter-Reilly both gone before 100 on the board. Delany and Louise Little restore Ireland's fortunes with what looks will be a match defining sixth wicket partnership of 119 in 20 overs before they both depart - Delany retiring at the same time as Little is dismissed. Arlene Kelly and Ava Canning ensure the win as Ed Joyce's side get a morale boosting win ahead of their first match proper against Pakistan on Wednesday.

Skipper Gaby Lewis batted fluently to make 45 before retiring, and it was then down to former captain Laura Delany. She made an unbeaten 67 sharing half century stands with Leah Paul and Cara Murray as Ed Joyce's side do well to make 248 for 8. Windies openers Matthews and James added 90 before Cara Murray made the breakthrough. Zia McCartney claimed her first senior scalp and Murray added two more, but the Windies always looked to have things under control easing home with more than eight overs to spare Stephanie Taylor completing a better than a run-a-ball half century. Ireland's final warmup game is on Monday versus Thailand.

A new record ODI score for India as openers Smriti Mandhana and Prakita Rawal both posted centuries in an opening partnership of 233 giving an indication of what was in store for Ireland’s bowlers. No let up in the second half of the innings as Richa Ghosh blasted a half century (10x4, 1x6). One commentator saying if it had been a boxing match the referee would have stepped in long ago! Gaby Lewis gone in the first over LBW missing a pull shot and Christina Coulter Reilly is bowled without scoring, not the start Ireland were hoping for. Two 'new' spinners await the Girls in Green today - Tanuja Kanwar a slow left armer and off spinner Minnu Mani. Promising third wicket stand of 64 is ended with the dismissal of Prendergast, quickly followed by the run out of Forbes. Wickets continued to tumble on a day to forget.

Ireland's attack put to the sword as an opening partnership of 156 set India on their way to their highest ever ODI total. Runs all down the order and a sparkling maiden ODI century for Jemima Rodrigues. Ireland without Aimee Maguire and although Laura Delany is in the side she didn't bowl today. There was no prospect of a successful Irish chase but a maiden half-century for Christina Coulter Reilly in 50+ partnerships with Sarah Forbes and Laura Delany on a day when there was no contribution from Gaby Lewis or Orla Prendergast will cheer the Irish camp as they better their match 1 total.

A record breaking fifth wicket partnership of 117 between skipper Gaby Lewis and Leah Paul rescued Ireland for a precarious 56/4, and aided by a sloppy display in the field by India enabled the visitors to post a respectable total in this first of three ODIs. It was made to look very inadequate however as the hosts romped home with more than 16 overs to spare despite resting their leading strike bowler Ranuka Singh and regular captain Harmanpreet Kaur. Pratika Rawal took full advantage of a chance to open the innings scoring a run-a-ball 89, falling to a third catch by Orla Prendergast, a third wicket for Aimee Maguire, as Rawal chased a maiden ODI century. Next match in the series is on Sunday, same time, same place. India's win moves them into second place in the Championship table above England.
