Ireland Women secured a 2–0 lead in the three-match T20I series by defeating Zimbabwe Women by 65 runs at Pembroke Cricket Club, Sandymount.
Batting first, Ireland posted a commanding 176/4 in their allotted 20 overs, powered by Gaby Lewis's unbeaten 87 off 50 balls, ably supported by contributions in the middle order. Their high total proved to be beyond Zimbabwe’s reach.
Zimbabwe’s batters could only muster 111 all out, falling short despite early resistance. Their chase never found rhythm after a strong start, and Ireland’s disciplined bowling unit, led by Cara Murray and Leah Paul, ensured a comprehensive victory.
The result effectively sealed the series for Ireland with one match to spare, showcasing their dominance and depth in both batting and bowling departments.
