Match Winner: Ireland Women

The Irish Women’s side, led by Gaby Lewis, has been in exceptional touch throughout the series. After bagging a 3-0 clean sweep against Zimbabwe Women in the three-match T20I series, they continue their winning momentum with a 1-0 lead in the two-match ODI series, bagging a comfortable win.
