    Deepti c Dempsey b Deepti 0 (Ind 143-5)

    Two in two for Orla Prendergast!

    Deepti Sharma gets her shot all wrong and the ball comes off a leading edge straight to Georgina Dempsey at cover.

    It was a fantastic innings. If Gaby Lewis had been under any of the earlier catches I reckon the innings would have finished a lot earlier.

    It was a magnificent innings from Smriti Mandhana. It was beautiful batting.

    Mandhana c Lewis b Prendergast 87 (Ind 143-4)

    Smriti Mandhana is finally caught!

    She goes for one big shot too many and Gaby Lewis takes the catch on the long-on boundary.

  5. Ind 140-3published at 18 overs

    Two overs to go. Can Smriti Mandhana get to her century?

    A few more shots like this and she will get very close.

  6. 6 runs

    Ind 138-3published at 17.4 overs

    This is all about timing from Smriti Mandhana as she casually lofts the ball over mid-wicket for another six.

    The strong wind probably helped the ball on its way, but the timing was perfect.

  7. Ind 126-3published at 17 overs

    Smriti Mandhana is one of the best batters in the world. You don't want to drop her once let alone four times.

    The century is definitely on.

    Smriti Mandhana, buy a lottery ticket, it is your lucky day.

  9. dropped catch

    Mandhana dropped on 70published at 16.5 overs

    Oh no, not again.

    Ireland had begun to redeem themselves with some decent catches in the outfield but Smriti Mandhana is living a charmed life as Louise Little spills her catch on the cover boundary.

    That is an absolutely classic shot. Who needs the power when you've got that timing and touch?

  11. Ind 120-3published at 16.3 overs

    Jemimah Rodrigues is the new batter and she gets off the mark with a lovely on drive through mid-wicket for four.

    Maybe she should have come in earlier.

    You can understand Richa Ghosh and Harmanpreet Kaur going in because Jemimah Rodrigues is more touch, but she does go at a decent rate. It is a strange one for me.

    That is the first time Ghosh has been dismissed in this tournament. And it's two in three balls for Delany.

    Ghosh c Lewis b Delany 0 (Ind 115-3)

    And another!!

    Laura Delany bowls a wide but her next legitimate delivery is smashed into the air by Richa Ghosh and Gaby Lewis takes a very smart catch on the long-off boundary.

    Simply stunning. Absolutely magnificent effort out there from Orla Prendergast. A little bit of redemption for this Ireland fielding unit.

    Kaur c Prendergast b Delany 13 (Ind 114-2)

    Great catch!

    They have dropped some clangers today but that is a smart take by Orla Prendergast as she runs in from the deep mid-wicket boundary and pouches the ball diving forward.

    Harmanpreet Kaur, who never really got going, departs.

    Beautiful shot, a 77m six. She's starting to find her feet out there and timing the ball a lot better.

  18. 6 runs

    Ind 113-1published at 15.3 overs

    That is huge!!

    Smriti Mandhana gets down on one knee and launches the ball way over the rope for another massive six.

    Mandhana moves on to 68 - is the century on?

  19. Postpublished at 14:08 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2023

    This is the only wicket to fall so far as Ireland finally held onto a catch to dismiss Shafali Verma.

  20. Ind 105-1published at 15 overs

    Mandhana 61, Kaur 12

    Smriti Mandhana needs 24 more runs to become the tournament top scorer. The way she is playing you'd back her to do so in the next five overs.
