New Zealand Women vs Ireland Women, 18th Match, Group B, ICC Womens World T20 2018 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Devine to Kim Garth, out Lbw!! Kim Garth has been given OUT LBW and she has challenged it. It is pitching in line and just clipping the leg-stump. Umpire's decision will stay. So, when Ireland finally go for a review, they get it wrong. It was a good length ball angling back in, Garth plays down the wrong line and it raps her on the pads. It looked high to the naked high but was just clipping the leg-stump. Kim Garth lbw b Devine 1(5)

Jess Watkin to Waldron, out Caught&Bowled!! Wheels are coming off for Ireland. It's an extremely soft dismissal. It was on a fuller length and on the stumps, Waldron guides it straight back to the bowler. The catch was served on a platter for Jess Watkin and she accepts it with a glee on her face. Waldron c and b Jess Watkin 1(3)

Kasperek to Richardson, out Caught by Bates!! Well tossed up and outside off, Richardson fails to put enough power on the lofted shot. And ends up gifting an easy catch to Bates at long-on who makes no mistake. New Zealand right on top. Richardson c Bates b Kasperek 5(7) [4s-1]

Kasperek to Richardson, FOUR, puts on her dancing shoes on that flighted delivery and smashes it over mid-off for a boundary

Amelia Kerr to Kavanagh, out Lbw!! Amelia Kerr is having a dream of an over. Now gets wicket of a wrong'un. Kavanagh fails to pick it off her hands and by the time she realized, it's going the other way, it was way too late. She fails to put any bat to it and the ball raps her on the pads. Replay shows it would have missed leg-stump. This is the second time in the innings Ireland haven't taken a review when the batswoman wasn't out. Kavanagh lbw b Amelia Kerr 2(3)

Amelia Kerr to Gaby Lewis, out Stumped!! Classical leg-spinner dismissal. Lots of flight in this delivery, Gaby Lewis dances down the track. She wanted to play that inside-out shot over cover, ends up making no contact. Katey Martin collects it and takes off the bails. Gaby Lewis was well short of her crease. Gaby Lewis st Katey Martin b Amelia Kerr 39(36) [4s-5]

Tahuhu to Delany, out Caught by Satterthwaite!! This is a soft dismissal. Delany was going nowhere with her innings. She eventually went for an expansive shot on that overpitched delivery. She finds no elevation and ends up hitting it straight to mid-wicket. Delany c Satterthwaite b Tahuhu 12(22)

Tahuhu to Gaby Lewis, FOUR, chages down the ground and lifts it over mid-off. The timing was good and it reaches the fence

Kasperek to Gaby Lewis, FOUR, takes out the reverse sweep and connects well, beats short third and it races to the fence in a canter

Kasperek to Isobel Joyce, out Lbw!! Two wickets in a span of three balls and Ireland are in trouble. Flighted and again this is a grubber from Kasperek. Joyce was inside the line looking to flick but couldn't counter the lack of bounce. Struck low on the pad and seemed pretty adjacent. She walked up to her partner hoping for a review, but nope, in the end, just walked off. Oh dear, HawkEye shows that it was missing the leg-stump. Unfortuante for Joyce! Isobel Joyce lbw b Kasperek 0(2)

Kasperek to Shillington, out Bowled!! Cleaned up. Ireland lose their second wicket. This was tossed up and didn't rise at all. Shillington made room and exposed all three stumps. The ball creeped through to rattle the off-stump. Shillington b Kasperek 12(22) [4s-1]

Amelia Kerr to Gaby Lewis, FOUR, second boundary of the over and Lewis is showing glimpses of her talent here. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Lewis manufactures room after stepping down the track and creams it sublimely past mid-off

Amelia Kerr to Gaby Lewis, FOUR, juicy full toss and Lewis dismisses it from his presence. Gets to the pitch early and drives it beautifully past mid-on

Tahuhu to Gaby Lewis, FOUR, half-volley and Lewis is not letting Tahuhu go scott-free. Gets under it, holds her shape and presents a straight bat face to drill it past mid-off

Tahuhu to Cecelia Joyce, out Caught by Maddy Green!! Joyce was looking quite fidgety, tries to break the shackles but ends up hitting it straight to mid-wicket where Green accepts the dolly. Made room to free her arms but messed up her timing, failing to generate enough power behind the shot to clear the fielder. Cecelia Joyce c Maddy Green b Tahuhu 1(8)

Kasperek to Shillington, FOUR, another tempter and Shillington's eyes light up. Extends her arms and goes aerial, lifting it over mid-on
