Both were beaten equally convincingly by the Kiwis. Sri Lanka Women lost that match by seven wickets with New Zealand Women leaving 25 balls to spare.
For the Sri Lankan eves Yasoda Mendis and Dilani Manodara showed some application against a good attack. Yasoda scored 30 runs, while Dilani scored 37 runs. However the rest of their batting line up was a sheer disaster with none of them managing to get past the 17 runs. With the ball Sugandika Kumari was able to restrict the opposition to a certain degree, conceding just eight in two overs.
Ireland Women were defeated by 93 runs. They were unable to constrict the formidable Kiwi batting line up, conceding 177 runs in 20 overs. Lucy O’Reilly was their most economical bowler conceding 26 in four overs. Their response with the bat was tame, managing to score just 84 for 5 in the stipulated 20 overs, with Isobel Joyce top-scoring with a 33-ball 28.
This match against the two vanquished will be revealing of which of them is stronger, though Sri Lanka women are the ones who go into the contest with the favourites tag.
