128/7 (20.0/20)
129/4 (18.1/20)
Ireland Women beat West Indies Women by 6 wickets
From Bristol to London - Right then, that wraps up a memorable contest where Ireland Women scripted history with a famous victory over West Indies Women. But the drama is far from over! Up next is another blockbuster as England Women take on New Zealand Women in a match that will decide the final semi-final spot. A win for the White Ferns sends them through, while an England victory will see West Indies sneak into the last four. The toss is done and New Zealand have elected to BAT first. Simply switch tabs and join us for all the action. Until then, cheers!
The victorious skipper of Ireland Women - Gaby Lewis is absolutely delighted with the victory and says she is incredibly proud of the team for bouncing back after some heavy defeats earlier in the tournament. She always believed the target was within reach, given the quality in Ireland's batting line-up, and is pleased the players backed themselves to play positive cricket. She adds that while the tournament has brought its share of setbacks, there have also been plenty of encouraging performances. She credits the team's unity and resilience for helping them stay together through the tough moments and says that spirit made the historic victory even more special.
The captain of West Indies Women - Hayley Matthews feels West Indies let the game slip with the bat, saying they made a decent start in the Powerplay but failed to keep the scoreboard moving and were forced to play catch-up after not taking on the bowlers early in their spells. She also admits there were lapses in execution with the ball and a few costly mistakes in the field. She acknowledges that neither she nor Deandra Dottin have been at their best with the bat and says the senior players need to take greater responsibility. She points out that, unlike Orla Prendergast for Ireland, none of the West Indies batters went on to play a substantial innings. Despite the disappointment, she says the team will embrace the opportunity if they make the semi-finals, adding that they need to channel the pain of this defeat into producing better performances. She also hopes Chinelle Henry recovers in time, praising her resilience despite regularly battling injuries.
Time to hear from the two captains now...
Windies pay the price - West Indies needed something special to defend their modest total, and Ashmini Munisar gave them the perfect start with an early breakthrough. However, they failed to build on it as their bowlers repeatedly dropped too short, allowing the Irish batters to score freely. Afy Fletcher and Hayley Matthews struck in the middle overs, but the damage had already been done. The shock defeat not only handed Ireland a famous victory but also left West Indies' semi-final hopes hanging by a thread, with qualification no longer in their own hands.
A quick chat - Ireland Women's Amy Hunter says the victory is an unbelievable feeling, admitting Ireland have been building towards this moment for a while and are delighted to finally register their first-ever T20 World Cup win. She heaps praise on Orla Prendergast, calling her outstanding and revealing her main aim during their partnership was to keep Orla on strike as much as possible. She admits there were a few nerves after Prendergast's dismissal but credits the middle order for holding their composure and getting the team over the line. She also highlights the resilience this Irish side has shown through difficult moments and believes it is something they can continue to build on. She thanks the travelling Irish supporters for their incredible backing and is thrilled the team could reward them with a historic win. She adds that the message during the chase was to build partnerships, something Ireland had spoken about throughout the tournament and executed perfectly today. She also praises skipper Gaby Lewis for leading from the front throughout the competition and says she deserves immense credit for her leadership.
Irish bowlers rise to the occasion - Earlier in the game, Ireland Women produced a spirited bowling performance to restrict West Indies Women to a below-par total. Cara Murray and Aimee Maguire led the way with two wickets apiece, while every other bowler chipped in with one to ensure the pressure never eased. The experienced trio of Hayley Matthews, Stafanie Taylor and Deandra Dottin all got starts but struggled to shift gears, as Ireland's disciplined attack kept them in check throughout. Chinelle Henry's unbeaten 27 off 21 provided a late boost, dragging West Indies close to the 130-run mark and giving their bowlers something to defend.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Undoubtedly, Orla Prendergast wins the award for her match-winning 63 off 44 and 1/29 with the ball as well. She says the victory means a great deal to the team. She adds that they had belief throughout the tournament and are pleased to finally cross the finish line. She notes that they approached the chase with a different tempo and that the changing conditions also played a key role in their win. Orla explains that the focus was on building a strong partnership and putting the team in a good position. Prendergast also feels it was probably their best all-round performance in terms of bowling and fielding. She ended by thanking the fans for their constant support, calling them the team’s '12th man' throughout the competition.
A chase to remember - Despite losing skipper Gaby Lewis early, Ireland Women refused to panic as Amy Hunter and Orla Prendergast stitched together a match-defining 62-run partnership after a steady 37/1 Powerplay. Hunter laid the platform before Prendergast took centre stage, smashing a brilliant 63 off 44 to put Ireland within touching distance of history. Although her dismissal sparked a few late nerves, Rebecca Stokell kept her cool with an unbeaten 16 off 15 to steer Ireland home and seal their first-ever T20 World Cup victory.
Ireland shake up the semi-final race - Yesterday, Ireland Men's team created history by defeating India for the first time ever in international cricket. Just a day later, Ireland Women delivered another memorable moment, pulling off a stunning victory over West Indies Women. The win is even more special as it marks Ireland Women's first-ever triumph in T20 World Cup history. In the process, they not only beat the West Indies but also knocked them out of control of their own semi-final fate. The Caribbean side must now anxiously wait and hope England Women defeat New Zealand Women to keep their semi-final hopes alive.

Afy Fletcher floats it up, full and around leg, Orla looks to paddle it away, but misses and Shemaine Campbelle takes a sharp catch behind the stumps. UltraEdg shows a flatline when the ball passes the bat and confirms that it brushed the pads instead. The on-field call of Out is overturned.

DRINKS! A decent Powerplay for both sides, but this match will be won and lost in the middle overs. Ireland Women need one big partnership, and Orla Prendergast can play anchor in this chase. There is not much scoreboard pressure but they have to avoid playing too many dot balls. West Indies Women know that they will have to create pressure and the only way to do that is to keep chipping in with the wickets here. Also, Qiana Joseph to bowl after the break.

Ashmini Munisar To Gaby Lewis OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Ashmini Munisar draws first blood and gets rid of the opposition skipper. This is floated, full and on middle and leg, Gaby Lewis takes a couple of steps out to flick it away but the ball stops on her a bit and she fails to keep it down. It travels quickly to the left of short mid-wicket, where Hayley Matthews leaps like a bird to that side and plucks it out of thin air with both hands. Ireland Women are 26/1, chasing 129 runs.
