18.3 Arlene Kelly to Shabika Gajnabi, 1 run, full on off, Gajnabi lofts down the ground and will have to settle for a single. We would have lost a lot of games in a row, and to be able to get that first win on the board and in the World Cup, feels really good. Just one hit for the West Indies and Ireland will be hoping for a wicket off the first 2 balls or at least build a couple of dots in the first half of the set. The girls did a fantastic job restricting them to 137 after the start they got and it's a complete team effort to get those runs in the end. 19.3Delany to Shabika Gajnabi, out Shabika Gajnabi Run Out!! 19.5 Delany to Matthews, FOUR, too full and that's nailed away over extra cover with an air of authority. Player of the Match and West Indies skipper: As captain and as one of the leaders in the batting line-up, we needed someone from the top to bat through the innings and that's what I tried to do. First World Cup for a lot of girls, and I'm sure there were definitely lot of nerves out there and we trained better than that and performed better than that, so that is one area we are looking to improve going forward. Lot of pressure, kudos to the Irish girls, they bowled in some really good areas but it was a complete team effort from us. We batted with great intent, and the last five overs is something that we will look out from the first innings and then with the fielding innings, we just have to better in the field if you wanna compete with some of the best teams in the world, the best players give you one opportunity and if you don't take it, they will take the game away from you. Overall we know, we are better than that and we are not here to fight, we are here to win games, so that's what it comes down to. Bangladesh from group A and Ireland from group B.
