5.3 straight through, and Maguire leaps in delight! Both openers back in the shed now, and this is another tidy piece of bowling. Loopy but landing in the blockhole on middle and off. Carter gets done in the flight and is unable to jam her bat down in time. The ball sneaks under the toe-end and crashes into the stumps. Scotland two down now! 36/2

4.3 in the air, and taken this time! Superb by Tector, and Ireland are on the board! Dragged down on the stumps, and this is there to be hit. Fraser winds up and smears it towards deep mid wicket. Not enough distance, though, and Tector, stood at deep mid wicket, accounts for the swirling wind and gobbles up the chance near her left shoulder with minimal fuss. Just the breakthrough Ireland would have wanted at this stage! 30/1

18.5 Kathryn perishes too, and Ireland are roaring back into this contest now! Another variation, on a length wide outside off, asking the Scotland skipper to fetch it. Kathryn tries but comes up second-best, and quite comfortably too. A tame skew off the outside edge and extra cover does the rest. A top tone-setting knock, but now someone else will have to take Scotland past 170! 155/5

16.1 nicked and gone, and Sarah falls a whisker short of a World Cup fifty! Back of a length outside off, and this seems to skid through. Sarah has designs of flaying this through the off side but the lack of room means she only manages a feather through to the keeper. Ireland are jubilant, but take nothing away from a knock that has put Scotland in a very strong position! 142/3

18.2 knocks her over this time, and Canning has two! Slower ball on a back of a length on off. Cuts in with the angle and Lister, swinging like a rusty gate, is too early into the stroke. Misses it and the ball pin-balls off her thigh pad before rattling into the stumps. Vital wicket at this stage for Ireland, given the damage Lister can do! 154/4

11.4 Fraser strikes timber, and Ireland losing their way now! Looped up on a full length outside off. Lots of over-spin on this, and the ball seems to rip through after pitching. Hunter a touch late on the reverse and fails to make contact, with the ball thudding into the top of off. Scotland firmly in control now! 67/3

0.6 oh my days - what a catch that is! Right out of the top drawer! Slanted in on a fullish length on the stumps. Dalzell laces her straight drive but cannot keep it down. Bryce, in her follow-through, nonchalantly flings out her right mitt and makes it stick. Umpire was ducking for cover, but Bryce ensured that became a moot point. Some way to get on the board! 7/1

7.4 Lewis bites the dust, and Fraser has broken through! This is brilliant bowling. Hung up on a length wide outside off, and also bowled from well behind the crease. Lewis pre-meditates her charge and has to then reach out. She is unable to do so and Sarah whips off the bails in a flash to send the Irish skipper on her way! 37/2

16.4 oh dear - that is a terrible call, and Prendergast has to go! Slower ball on a length outside off. Prendergast splices it down to long on and seems content with a single. Kelly, though, calls her through very late and Prendergast responds, rather than turning it down. The throw is to the keeper's end and Prendergast, despite a sprawling dive, cannot get there. That might just be that for Ireland today! 108/7

12.3 timmmmbbbeerrrrr, and Ireland are four down now! Stokell a little perplexed by what has happened here. Ona back of a length just outside off and this comes in with the angle. Stokell looks to dab it fine and misses a straight ball, with her off stump being knocked back soon after. Ireland in all sorts now! 70/4

12.5 soft dismissal, and Ireland in freefall now! Tossed up a touch on a length outside off. Paul steps out but is not to the pitch of the ball. Reaches out in front and all she does is pop it back to the bowler, who snaffles it up smartly near her right shoulder. Scotland on a roll here! 70/5

12.6 hot knife through butter, and Gordon is tearing this Irish batting unit to shreds! Flighted up nicely on a length on off, and this comes in with the arm. Tector has no clue about it and she plays for the turn, which means she also plays down the wrong line. Beaten on the inside and leg stump is disturbed. Gordon on a hat-trick, and Ireland on the brink! 70/6

17.3 Ireland properly imploding now! Floaty full ball on middle and off. Canning marches down the track and drills it towards the bowler, who parries it towards long on. The second is never on but like in the previous over, Kelly calls for it. This time, though, the throw comes to her end and Kelly is barely in the frame as Fraser whips off the bails! 112/8

17.6 another very soft dismissal! Back of a length on the stumps. Stops in the surface and that leads to Murray's downfall. She closes her bat face too early as she looks to work to leg and offers the simplest of return catches to the bowler. Ireland nine down now! 113/9

19.1 and that is exactly what she does! History for Scotland, and after their adventure in the UAE a couple of years ago, they now finally have a women's T20 World Cup win to their name! Slower ball on a fullish length just outside off. Maguire swipes at it and picks out deep square leg to perfection. What a moment for this team. They have been full value for this win today, and they have shown that they are not here to only make up the numbers! 121/10
