Ireland Beat West Indies by One Run on DLS in Rain‑Hit Dublin T20

Orla Prendergast’s match-leading unbeaten 71 gives the hosts a timely boost in form before their next tri-series fixture with Pakistan.

Overview

  • Ireland secured the one-run victory after rain forced play to be abandoned and the Duckworth‑Lewis‑Stern target left the hosts ahead following a last-ball boundary.
  • Orla Prendergast anchored the chase with an unbeaten 71 from 46 balls and was named player of the match for her captain’s performance.
  • West Indies made 141 for 8 with Jannillea Glasgow top-scoring on 36 and Ireland’s Ava Canning took key wickets including a tidy 2-11.
  • The DLS method recalculated a par score when overs were lost to rain, which made Louise Little’s four off the final delivery enough to move Ireland one run above the revised target.
  • The result, coming after Ireland’s earlier series win over Pakistan, ends West Indies’ unbeaten start and gives Ireland momentum and selection confidence as they prepare for the T20 World Cup build-up.
