There was to be no happy ending for the Girls in Green as they came up short chasing what looked like an inadequate Nigerian total. There were late runs from Omosigho Eguakun and Peculiar Agboya, plus that contribution from opener Cristabel Chukwuonye in the Nigerian innings, wickets shared by the Irish bowlers with two for Kia McCartney. The Irish reply got off to the worst possible start, Alice Walsh bowled by Peace Usen without scoring, but with Freya Sargent and Rebecca Lowe adding 30 the chase looked well on course. Accurate bowling by POTM Lilian Ude, Anointed Akhigbe and Peace Usen plus excellent catching was the key to the Nigerian victory that sees them finish third in the group and Ireland bottom.

Consecutive boundaries from Freya Sargent but lbw next ball in the second over. Rebecca Lowe and Annabel Squires both caught sweeping in Reyneke's first - Abbi Harrison nearly a third in the over, missing, you guessed it a SWEEP! Harrison in two minds bowled in the next by Legodi who claims McNally, MacNulty, and McBride in her next - 3 Big Macs for Monalisa. Lots of 'getting out' shots being played. Nthabiseng Nini back and bowls Lucy Neely first up. McCartney run out in the final over and McGee caught next ball to give Reyneke her third wicket. Jenny Jackson’s left-arm inswing traps Jemma Botha lbw in the first over before Ramlaken chops on, two in the over. With Simone Lourens and Kayla Reyneke adding 28 for the third wicket South Africa's win was inevitable ensuring their place in the semi-finals.

Bright start by Ireland with the rain interruption coming at 25/1 off 3.1 overs. Ireland with 35 more balls to face in their reduced innings play tip and run, all a bit frantic. Five boundaries for Alice Walsh in a 19 ball innings before she drags on from way outside off stump. Two wickets off the final two deliveries for Memoona Khalid sets her side a DLS adjusted target of 73 for a place in the Super Sixes. Confident start to the chase by Pakistan but agressive running costs them their first wicket with a TV review to decide if they'd crossed.Two more run outs, good returns well gathered by Freya Sargent swings the game Ireland's way. 30 required off the final 3 overs and no inroads being made by Pakistan. Now it's 26 off 12. Five singles and a wicket off Ellie McGee leaves Pakistan needing 21 off the final over and they manage only 7.

USA recorded a thumping victory over Ireland in what is likely to be the battle for the final Super Sixes spot in Group B. After an inauspicious display with the bat, the Girls in Green wilted with the ball as Disha Dhingra carried the USA to the brink of victory with a 33 ball innings that included 5x4 & 2x6. With the scores tied she was bowled by Lara McBride in just the tenth over of what was in the end a one-sided match. It would be easy to pass this off as 'a day to forget' for Ireland, but it may be more useful for them to make it a 'day to remember'.

A challenging total set by England after being asked to bat by Ireland and a disastrous start to the chase with Freya Sargent running herself out without facing. New batter Rebecca Lowe is almost bowled first ball missing a sweep, Walsh charges up the pitch to run the Bye and Lowe avoids being run out only because the keeper's throw hits her as she attempts to make it to the bowler's end! Then with rain falling, Walsh slapped the ball to mid off and set off for a non-existent single, a direct hit saw her yards short - Madness! Three balls later the umpires called a halt for rain and with only 7 more deliveries required to achieve a DLS result time ran out for a restart leaving the sides with a point each. No prizes for guessing who was the happier side with that result.
