Skipper Kathryn Bryce led from the front with a sparkling half-century before spinner Kirstie Gordon ripped through Ireland's middle-order as Scotland registered a historic 40-run victory in their ICC Women's T20 World Cup campaign opener at Old Trafford in Manchester on Saturday.

Defending 161/5, built around a match-defining 106-run partnership between sisters Kathryn and Sarah Bryce, Scotland produced a disciplined bowling display to bowl Ireland out for 121 in 19.1 overs and secure their first-ever win in Women's T20 World Cup history.
