Ireland Brushed Aside as England Secure Series Win
Issy Wong took 5 for 33 as England bowled Ireland out for 165 and wrapped up the ODI series with a game to spare.
- On Tuesday, England secured an unassailable 2-0 series lead over Ireland with a comprehensive six-wicket win in Derby, as seamer Issy Wong claimed a maiden one-day international five-wicket haul.
- Ireland collapsed from 140 for four to 165 all out as Wong put the batting line-up to the sword, conceding just 33 runs from her 10 overs while Amy Hunter top-scored with 64 off 96 balls.
- Chasing the record target of 282 proved a formality for England as openers Maia Bouchier and Sophia Dunkley put on 54 runs before Freya Kemp and Dani Gibson finished the job in 23 overs.
- "That was pretty disappointing," captain Gaby Lewis said, noting Ireland struggled to take risks against England's accuracy as the pitch proved tricky to bat on early.
- The final match will be played at Worcester, where Ireland will seek their first World Cup qualifying points at the sixth attempt after losing 3-0 to the West Indies in July.
