Savar (Bangladesh), Mar 21:
The Indian women’s cricket team clinched a facile 26-run triumph over Ireland to sign off their warm-up engagements on a positive note ahead of the ICC World Twenty20 Championships here today.
Put into bat, the Indians made 148 for four before restricting Ireland to 122 for nine.
The Indian team had earlier lost the first practice game to New Zealand.
Poonam Raut struck an unbeaten 40-ball 50 while skipper Mithali Raj scored a 34-ball 42 to power India to 148 for four.
It was a good batting practice for the Indians with most of the top-order getting a decent outing in the match.
There was nothing spectacular about the Irish bowling effort as the Indians scored freely. (PTI)
