Issy Wong delivered a standout performance, claiming her maiden one-day international five-wicket haul as England secured a comprehensive six-wicket victory over Ireland in Derby. This win wraps up the series for England with a game still to play.
Wong was in exceptional form, dismantling Ireland's batting line-up by taking five wickets for just 33 runs across her 10 overs. Mady Villiers and Tilly Corteen-Coleman also contributed with two wickets each.
Ireland's Amy Hunter was a bright spot for her team, scoring her 11th ODI half-century with 64 runs off 96 balls. However, Ireland experienced a late collapse, losing their final six wickets for only 25 runs to be bowled out for 165.
In response, England's opening pair, Maia Bouchier and Sophia Dunkley, established a 54-run partnership. Freya Kemp and Dani Gibson then guided England to victory in 23 overs, sealing an unassailable 2-0 series lead.
