SL-W vs IRE-W Match 20 Results

4:46 PM IST The victorious skipper of Sri Lanka Women - Chamari Athapaththu says that she loves Bristol and that she has scored most of her runs in England here. Mentions that she just played her natural game, they needed a partnership and she tried to lead from the front. Chamari shares that young Mithali Ayodhya did amazingly but also praises the entire bowling unit. Chamair shares that they have enjoyed the tournament, they have won two games and lost two but will give their all in the final match against Scotland. Unfortunately, they lost against the West Indies, whom they had defeated in a couple of games before the World Cup, but they cannot control the results and jokingly ask Gaby Lewis to do them a favour of beating the Windies. Ends by saying that they are in a bit of trouble, but will keep smiling and try to play their best cricket.

4:42 PM IST From Bristol to Leeds - Right then, that is all from this game, where Sri Lanka Women bag two crucial points and keep their campaign moving in the right direction, while Ireland Women's wait for a first-ever win at the T20 World Cup continues. But the action is far from over as we now shift our attention to Headingley in Leeds, where Australia Women take on Pakistan Women in what promises to be another fascinating contest. That game is just around the corner, so simply switch tabs and join us for all the action. Until then, cheers!

4:38 PM IST The captain of Ireland Women - Gaby Lewis says that it was a tough process to rebuild as they lost two early wickets. She adds that they played a bit slow and the girls are learning eventually. She reckons that their level has gone up and they will keep on getting better. Gaby further says that Chamari is a world-class player and she did what her team needed. She ends by saying that they will try to get better and hopefully get a win in the next game.

4:35 PM IST One-way traffic - There is not much Ireland Women could do with the ball as they came up against a special player who never gave them even a sniff of a comeback. The Irish simply had no answers to Chamari Athapaththu's brilliance, and their inability to strike in the Powerplay made the task of defending the total even tougher. Orla Prendergast picked up the only wicket to fall, but apart from that, it was a difficult outing for Ireland as they slumped to yet another defeat.

4:32 PM IST PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Chamari Athapaththu wins the award for her superb unbeaten century (106 off 61). She says that Bristol is very familiar to her and she always scores runs here. Unfortunately, she didn't score in the last game, but she played her natural game today and scored runs. Chamari adds that the bowlers did a good job, especially Mithali Ayodhya, and ends by saying that she is happy to get a big win.
