IRE-W vs BAN-W Match 8 Highlights - Loughborough (09 June 2026)

Gets away with it, does Maguire. Darted in full and down leg, Sultana sweeps it away but the fielder at short fine leg dives to her left and saves the boundary. Just a single.

Half an appeal for a leg bye, but the impact seems to be outside the line of off stump. Floated up outside off, Sharmin Akhter lunges across to sweep it away but gets it off the pads to short third for a leg bye.

Nicely tossed up, on off, driven along the turf to mid off.

SIX! There's the release shot from Nigar Sultana. A juicy full toss outside off, Sultana comes forward and wallops it over long off for a biggie.

Full and straight, Sultana comes forward and just pushes it down to long on for a single.

OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, Sharmin Akhter has been put out of her misery. Flighted delivery from Aimee Maguire, pitching wide outside off. Akhter dances down the track and goes after it, but ends up slicing it off the outside edge down to short third. Ava Canning takes a straightforward catch and Bangladesh Women lose their third wicket.

Full, on middle, Nigar Sultana sweeps it to square leg for one.

Full-length delivery, on off, Sobhana Mostary defends it to cover.

Fuller, outside off, Sobhana Mostary looks to lash it over cover, but induces an outside edge. The ball loops toward short third and the batter gets a single. When the fielder fires a throw at the bowler's end, it misses the stumps and the backup fielder fails to do her job. So the batter gets another run.

Full, on off, Sobhana Mostary pushes it back to the bowler.

A touch fuller, on off, Sobhana Mostary pushes it to mid off.

Full, around off, Nigar Sultana pushes it to the right of the cover fielder for a single.

OUT! LBW! A big appeal for LBW, and up gow the umpire's finger. Aimee Maguire bowls this one into the pitch, flatter and darting it into middle and leg. Sobhana Mostary hangs back and awkwardly looks to whip it away but misses and gets hit on the pads, and she has to walk back now.

Loppy delivery, fuller in length, on off, Sharmin Akhter nudges it across the line toward mid-wicket for a single.

OUT! STUMPED! Bangladesh Women are half a team down, and they still need 39 runs off 19 balls. Aimee Maguire once again offers a flighted fuller delivery, wide outside off. Nigar Sultana comes down the track with an intention to go big, but ends up missing the hit completely. The Christina Coulter Reilly gloves the ball and doesn't wast any time to disloge the stumps.

Tossed up outside off, driven straight to cover.

Full toss, on off, Shorna Akter pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Flighted and fuller, wide outside off, Ritu Moni punches it to deep cover and gets a couple of runs.

DROPPED! Gaby Lewis has completely misjudged the catch. Tossed up, fuller, on off, Ritu Moni drives it uppishly toward mid off. Gaby back paddles a bit, thinking the ball might dip to her, but it sails well over her head. She takes a leap and gets some hands on it to atleast save the boundary. Single taken.

Back of a length, outside off, Ritu Moni cuts it to point and gets a single.

On a hard length, angling in, on middle and leg, Shorna Akter miscues her pull to square leg for one. Single won't do damage to Ireland and for that reason, they are just trying to avoid leaking boundaries.

OUT! CAUGHT! Swung away but straight to the fielder. Ava Canning pitches the ball fuller and around off, inviting the big shot. Ritu Moni lunges across and looks to heaven across the line but hits it flat towards long on where the Irish skipper, Gaby Lewis takes the catch.

On a good length, on middle, Shorna Akter sweeps it well, toward the right of the short fine leg fielder. But the fielder does well to dive and makes a save. Single taken.

Back of a length, wide outside off, Nahida Akter pulls it across to long on for one.

Georgina Dempsey gets the job done. At a certain point of time, it looked like these Bangla batters might pull off a miracle, but Dempsey controls her nerves and helps her team to get the win. Back of a length yet again, wide outside off. Shorna Akter yet again looks to pull it across the line, but gets the connection from the inner half of her bat, before the ball rolls to cover. Ireland beat Bangladesh by 11 runs.
