At Johor Cricket Academy Oval: Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, England and Ireland had a day to remember by emerging victorious in the 2025 ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup.

The biggest development, though, was Ireland overcoming rain delays to beat Pakistan by 13 runs in a dramatic rain-affected contest and qualify for Super Six stage. Ireland posted 69/5 in a game reduced to nine overs and restricted Pakistan to 59/7 reply, ensuring they advance from Group B and pushed Pakistan to the 13th Place play-offs.

At Johor Cricket Academy Oval, Alice Walsh was the star with the bat for Ireland, by striking four fours in an innings of 31, while Ellie McGee took 2- 13. In reply, Pakistan were in the drivers’ seat at 24/0 in two overs but panic set in as three of their top four batters were run out while another four batters had their stumps uprooted.
