Women's T20 WC: Prendergast's Half-century Powers Ireland To Historic Six-wicket Win Over West Indies
T20 World Cup: Ireland scripted history by registering their first-ever victory in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup as Orla Prendergast produced a match-winning knock of 63 to guide her side to a comfortable six-wicket win over West Indies in their final Group Stage match at the County Ground on Saturday.
Chasing a modest target of 129, Ireland remained composed throughout the innings before reaching 129/4 in 18.1 overs with 11 balls to spare. Prendergast led the chase with an attacking 63 off 44 deliveries, while Amy Hunter chipped in with a valuable 28 as Ireland completed one of the most memorable victories in their Women's T20 World Cup history.
Ireland made a cautious start to the chase, scoring only three runs in the opening over. West Indies kept the pressure on early as spinner Ashmini Munisar conceded just five runs in the second over, forcing the batters to play carefully.
