Bryce 以 A Maguire
Wicket. OUT! Caught. Kathryn Bryce to Aimee Maguire. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep square leg, caught by Fontenla. Scotland have announced themselves in style at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026, sealing a convincing 40-run victory to open their campaign on a high. Amy Hunter briefly steadied the innings with an experienced and composed knock, while Orla Prendergast showed positive intent in the middle overs, but the lack of support from the rest of the batting line-up proved costly. Scotland's bowlers were relentless throughout, applying constant pressure with disciplined lines and timely breakthroughs. In the end, it was a complete team performance from Scotland, whose outstanding bowling display dismantled Ireland's chase and secured a memorable win on the grand stage.
End of over. Over 19. 8 runs. Bowler: Rachel Slater. Ireland Women: 121/9(rr 6.37)
