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.

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.
