Bangladesh v Ireland: Tourists win to secure series victory
Openers Gaby Lewis and Amy Hunter put on 34 for Ireland’s first wicket, with Lewis taking 14 first in the sixth over.
Hunt finished with 23 in the ninth over, but Prendergast’s 25-ball contribution and Delany’s impressive knock helped the visitors to a healthy total.
Nahida Akter was elected as the home bowler with figures of 2-20.
In Banglash’s reply, wickets fell at regular intervals, with only middle-order batsmen Sharmin Akter (38) and Shorna Akter (20) offering any significant resistance.
The duo put on a combined 48 runs for the fifth wicket, but by then their team’s hopes of victory were in jeopardy.
The hosts’ last three wickets fell within four balls as Ireland cruised to victory with a margin to spare.
In addition to Prendergast’s three wickets, Arlene Kelly and Delany took two wickets each.
