THE IRISH WOMEN’S cricket team are on the cusp of T20 World Cup qualification after a dominant, 98-run win over the Netherlands in Nepal. Having lost their Super Sixes opener to Scotland on Wednesday, Ireland bounced back with an emphatic victory — and move to third in the table with the top four qualifying for this summer’s World Cup in England. Ireland lost the toss and ended their batting innings on 143-9 from 20 overs, the average score on this ground 131. Player of the Match Prendergast led a brilliant bowling unit as Netherlands were bundled out for just 45 in the 15th over.
