India Women vs Ireland Women, 13th Match, Group B - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Lucy OReilly to Deepti Sharma, out Hemalatha Run Out!! 1 run completed. Slices the ball away uppishly and Hemalatha wants a double only to be sent back. Deepti had not even turned back. The throw from Isobel Joyce was good one from deep cover and Hemalatha miles out. Hemalatha run out (Isobel Joyce/Waldron) 4(5)

Kim Garth to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, slower short ball, pulls the ball down and places it between short fine and square leg for a four. Much needed indded

Kim Garth to Mithali, out Caught by Waldron!! The slower ball does the trick. A slow innings comes to an end. Blessing in disguise for India? She was really finding it hard to get it away. India in a spot of bother. Mithali c Waldron b Kim Garth 51(56) [4s-4 6s-1]

Lucy OReilly to Mithali, 1 run, inside edge saves Mithali as it looked dead straight. The ball dribbled away into the off-side for a single. Fifty up for Mithali but she does not even raise her bat. She knows it has been a struggle. Hemalatha goes up to her senior partner and pats her

Lucy OReilly to Veda Krishnamurthy, out Bowled!! Whatta delivery! Bullseye! The yorker delivered really and it escapes under the bat to rattle into the timber. India continue to lose wickets. The boundaries are not coming either. Ireland enjoying some well earned momentum here. Veda Krishnamurthy b Lucy OReilly 9(9) [4s-1]

Delany to Veda Krishnamurthy, FOUR, sits down on one knee and throws the kitchen sink on the slog sweep to send it over backward square leg for a four. Really threw her hands hard at the ball

Richardson to Harmanpreet Kaur, out Caught by Kavanagh!! And she is unlucky. Slams a full toss by charging out but finds the fielder at deep cover to perfection. Superb catch running sidewards by Kavanagh. Irish women are thrilled to bits here. They know the magnitude of this wicket. Harmanpreet Kaur c Kavanagh b Richardson 7(3) [6s-1]

Richardson to Harmanpreet Kaur, SIX, and this what this super girl can do! Charges out and smacks the ball over long-on for a sixer. India would need more of this

Delany to Rodrigues, wide, out Stumped!! Charged out trying to throw caution to the winds but missed the line and was beaten in length as well to be out stumped. She jumped out blind and the bowler speared it wider to trick the batswoman. India lose the dangerous Rodrigues. Skipper of Ireland is pretty happy. Rodrigues st Waldron b Delany 18(11) [4s-3]

Lara Maritz to Rodrigues, FOUR, walks across her sticks and picks the ball away off the pads to send it over backward square leg for a four. She is on fire. Whatta find for India!

Delany to Rodrigues, FOUR, short ball, outside off and has been chopped away fine to beat the fielder at short third. Much needed four. India trying to up the ante here

Lucy OReilly to Rodrigues, FOUR, fuller ball outside off and has been slashed away between point and short third man for a four. Lovely timing as she just used the pace of the bowler over there

Kim Garth to Mandhana, out Bowled!! Change of pace is key on this wicket. If you can force the batters to create their own pace, the probability of fetching a wicket is high. That theory has been aptly applied by Kim Garth. She may have noticed that tiny bit of restlessness after the previous shot and denied pace while keeping it straight, Mandhana cleared her front leg and slogged on Monday. The ball arrived on Thursday. Goodbye!! Mandhana b Kim Garth 33(29) [4s-4 6s-1]

Kim Garth to Mithali, FOUR, rolls her fingers over the delivery and bowls it wide of Mithali's off stump. Spotted all of it did Mithali and opened the face to steer it fine past short third

Kim Garth to Mithali, FOUR, this should offer some sort of relief to Mithali. Watches this back of a length delivery carefully, stays open-stanced and guides it in the gap between keeper and short third

Celeste Raack to Mandhana, SIX, both these batters have looked good when they used their feet against the spinners. The pitch is slow and with the ball staying low, guess that's the best attacking option. Mandhana puts on her skates and wallops this straight back over the bowler's head

Lara Maritz to Mithali, FOUR, full and hooping down leg, Mithali gets across and flicks it away into the vacant spaces at fine leg. 15 off the over

Lara Maritz to Mithali, FOUR, half-volley outside off, Mithali leans into the cover-drive and times it to perfection in the gap between cover and extra cover

Lara Maritz to Mandhana, FOUR, right in the slot and Mandhana mows it over mid-wicket. Full and straight, Mandhana clears her front leg and deposits over the leg-side

Richardson to Mithali, SIX, there's no forcing pace in this. All timing from Mithali. Uses her feet, like she so often does against the spinners, and lifts this offbreak neat and long back over the bowler's head. That's the 33rd maximum of the tournament

Richardson to Mandhana, FOUR, one bounce and over the ropes! Typical Smriti Mandhana. Gallops down, gets to the pitch of the delivery and smacks the lofted drive over extra cover with an air of swagger

Richardson to Mithali, no run, dropped by Maritz at square leg. A dolly of a full toss on the stumps, Mithali swipes it hard and hits it straight to the fielder on the leg-side. Nerves? Maybe. It went head high to Maritz who seemed to have reacted late and was in no position to take the rebound after the ball splashed her left palm

Lucy OReilly to Mandhana, FOUR, delicacy from Smriti Mandhana! Hangs back and makes great use of Lucy OReilly's pace as she glides this with an open face past point

Richardson to Mandhana, FOUR, skids on and stays low on leg stump, Mandhana does well to crouch and swivel-pull it past the sliding right hand of backward square
