DELIVERING WORLD-CLASS EVENTS // ICC WOMEN’S WORLD T20 QUALIFIER 2018


73


Ireland looked to have a chance while 17-year-old Gaby Lewis and 34-year-old Isobel Joyce were building a promising fourth-wicket partnership, but after both were out in consecutive overs as the score slipped from 52 for three to 54 for six in the space of nine deliveries, the innings never properly regained momentum, despite Eimear Richardson’s gallant attempt to drag her side back into contention with 23 off 19.


Ghosh’s career-best return included the key scalps of Clare Shillington and captain Laura Delany. She ended the tournament with nine wickets, one of three Bangladesh bowlers among the top- four wicket-takers: Rumana Ahmed (10 wickets), Fahima Khatun and Ghosh (nine each) were behind only Ireland’s O’Reilly (11), underlining the strength of their bowling resources.


During the group stages, there were maiden ICC Women’s World T20 wins for the United Arab Emirates and Uganda, who with Thailand were appearing for the first time.


Both defeated the Netherlands, who as hosts lost all their five matches to finish in eighth place of the eight participants, despite the exceptional efforts of their opener Sterre Kalis, the 18-year-old right-hand batter, who was the tournament’s top scorer with 231 runs at an average of 57.75.
