  3. Ireland Women qualify for World Cup
3rd December 2015 by Cricket Ireland

Ireland Women qualify for World Cup

Cecelia Joyce top scored with a brilliant 36 not out, with Clare Shillington the only wicket to fall after she had forged a 58-run partnership with Joyce, scoring 34 to set Ireland up for the win.

Kim Garth (5*) came in at the end to sweep four runs and seal victory in the 12th over after a brilliant bowling display from Ireland had restricted Scotland to 77-9 in their 20 overs.

Three wickets for just 16 runs from Lucy O’Reilly set the platform for the victory, as well as an excellent 2-8 from Robyn Lewis.  Kim Garth, Laura Delany, Ciara Metcalfe and Isobel Joyce all got one wicket each as every Irish bowler got involved.

Chasing a modest but potentially tricky 78 to win in the afternoon heat, Shillington and Joyce set about the task with purpose and speed, scoring quickly and punishing any hint of a bad ball from the Scottish bowlers.  

It quickly became apparent that time would not be a factor for Ireland, and when Shillington fell for 34 in the eighth over they were within 20 runs of victory.  Cecelia Joyce quickly hit a six to move them even closer, before a calm Garth swept Maqsood for four to start the Irish celebrations.

Ireland will face Bangladesh in the final of the World T20 Qualifying tournament on Saturday, with both teams having secured their place in the finals tournament to be held in India in March 2016.
