00:00so first ball in this women's odi series Prendergast to Gunaratne
00:18left alone outside off
00:19appeal and Atapatu is gone first ball phenomenal delivery and Prendergast and Ireland get to
00:31celebrate this incredible breakthrough Sri Lanka one for one
00:40little less swing on this this through the covers and should get to the boundary for
00:45the first of the game Sri Lanka move to double figures
00:52big shot is it going to go all the way comfortably in the end first six
00:57of the game Sri Lanka move to 20 what a strike from Gunaratne she goes to double figures
01:08good pace this one sliced away though it'll run to the boundary
01:15well that's going to go for four as well i think Rebecca Stoeckl has a long chase on her hands
01:21that is it's 10 from three deliveries so Alice Tetch in that
01:28and there is an aerial shot leg side
01:33one bounce to the boundary
01:34oh bold around her legs Solana Delzel strikes with the final delivery of her fourth over
01:46and that is a massive wicket
01:53this time fuller through the covers might run away big chase on here Prendergast is after it
01:59is not going to get there so another boundary to Gunaratne one day international
02:07again a little swing away but that's good contact from Gunaratne and this
02:11should run away as well and does
02:17good contact and this will race away to the boundary
02:22Pereira's first of the innings
02:28oh that's a poor miss field that from Leopold in point just didn't quite judge the bounce
02:33and Arlene Kenny's doubled up on the boundary hasn't collected so
02:37disappointing for Jane Maguire because she's bold to her plan back shortens
02:45well talking of launching and mounting an attack that's almost taken us out in the commentary box
02:51and she's taken that on and that's a lovely strike and the half volley
03:00stand and deliver Kelly just watches it soar back over her head
03:07and that shorter ball just been taken on by the
03:11almost birthday girl and she picks up another four and moves into the 60s
03:22and that's a poor bit of fielding
03:28and she's taken that on and that has gone all the way giving it the full kitchen sink almost
03:33into the side screen and she Gunaratne has decided that she doesn't want any more of
03:37these singles and dot balls in Australia some might get nervous
03:42and not Gunaratne she goes into the 90s never quite cemented a spot
03:54well shots like that might well cement you somewhere now it's glorious and has to be
03:58fetched from over the advertising hoardings beyond the boundary rope
04:03and that very much the kind of stroke that we've come to expect from Dillari
04:15and she has her first international wicket it's the wicket of Dillari
04:20he's whipped it straight to Jane Maguire and takes a comfortable catch and Alice Tector can celebrate
04:27and is out caught Mike Prendergast brilliantly
04:36Donzel returns and immediately creates the breakthrough
04:45this starts off with a floaty slower delivery that Sanjuani helps herself to
04:51fielders up on the leg side
04:57and that will be four this time it doesn't matter there's two fielders
05:04converging on it the outfield might not be the quickest perfectly placed in that gap
05:13excellent catch straight to her who's never gonna drop that and De Silva look to try and take it on
05:20with us as well and that's gone up very high she's not quite got a hold of it easy as you
05:29like for the captain Gabby Lewis she gets both hands under it and Sanjuani trying to take on
05:34all of Prendergast competitor wise but I think there's still a lot of work to be done in the
05:41coaches and that's just pierced the gap in front of us and it rolls away to the boundary and Kumari
05:47picks up four that's an excellent pickup shot from Kumari she's no mug with the
05:55bass takes on the fielders straight two full from Arlene Kelly and she's paid the price four runs
06:06well a little bit of innovation down the order and it's paid off and she picks up four
06:10and that's gone up very high in the air Prendergast calls it herself
06:18easy as you like in the end she picks up her third this time it's a court involved
06:22and Kumari goes for 18 the eighth wicket goes down for Sri Lanka
06:29yes well Atipatty stands out there at the top of the batting order because of
06:33the fact that she didn't actually score which will be a surprise to
06:37anyone who knows the cricket game the women's game around the world but her young partner Gunaratne
06:42made up for 101 her maiden century today and from 98 deliveries lots of starts especially
06:49Pereira who'll be disappointed not to have made her half century but a useful 46 from 72 deliveries
06:54for her as she stayed around with Gunaratne so Ireland's reply starts here
06:59yeah just coming off a few paces we open up Mudeshka Prabhudani comes that actually hits them
07:12this time nicely played and that'll race away to the boundary for the first four of the innings
07:19this time just straying down leg and the umpire has put the finger up
07:32yeah it's come off the pad of Gabby Lewis and sometimes when it hits your thigh pad like that
07:36it can go straight down and then on to the stump so she's actually it's it'll go down as bold
07:41but it's come off the pad of Gabby Lewis all the way from the right-hander
07:45and that'll be a nice shot
07:49fine shot and that'll race away for four
07:56Hunter opens up and this will race away to the boundary past Atapatu
08:05and Forbes spots the gap and will steal that ball away surely for four
08:11neither will get to the ball before it reaches the boundary and Sarah Forbes
08:15and making her way back in
08:19Hunter looks to go over the top and she's once again found the stroke that she desired
08:31that's nicely played rocked onto the back foot and there's some genuine power in that shot from
08:36Amy Hunter she's raced to 15 of just 15 deliveries now well
08:45Hunter continues her aggressive approach and the 50 up for Ireland
08:51it doesn't really allow about his time to settle this time though it's Forbes
08:55who punches that through the offside it'll race away to the boundary
09:03big appeal and that is out
09:07Aidan Seaver had no doubts and Sarah Forbes is on her way
09:14and full toss through the covers lovely looking shot from all apprentice that sat up and was
09:20just there to be hit and that is the boundary that they were looking for
09:28that's nicely placed the fielder is going to come around not going to get there
09:32and that's the boundary that they've been looking for from all apprentice
09:37Hunter again going for that sweep and that's well taken above the head
09:44behind square Amy Hunter just one too many
09:56that's going to go for four that's just what they needed and it's just what's going to rile up and
10:00already when Prendergast takes it on and that's gone all the way over the advertising hoardings
10:09well so much for keeping a squeeze on this over just chipped up in the air and easily taken
10:19and that is the end of Leopold the fourth wicket to go down well off the back of that six and spell
10:25lovely strike a couple of bounces and into the rope as Prendergast reaches a fine milestone shots
10:38this one bisects the fielders and might just run away to the boundary and does
10:45and does still harry continuing
10:52beautifully placed past extra cover diving extra cover can't stop that one
10:56a few yards pretty easily and bold
11:03Stokel plays all around one and is out for 19. Prabodhani has her first wicket
11:09and that is a wonderful reflex catch that from Dilhari just chipped up by Arlene Kelly
11:18above the head in her follow-through and that is just what Sri Lanka needed
11:26chipped straight to Mariatta Patu so it's been two wickets in three balls for Sri Lanka
11:32as the sending in the youngster has not paid off Alice Tector on debut can't
11:38get off the mark
11:42she's lifted at leg side found the gap between the fielders a good effort in the deep but she's
11:47found the boundary there's one of the boundaries that Ireland will be looking forward to get them
11:51ever closer to a historic victory comes down the pitch takes it on and that's got four written all
12:00over it from the moment it came off the bat and all of Prendergast lift your bat high her maiden
12:06ODI 100 101 from 97 and what a knock this has been from the young all-rounder she starred with
12:14the ball and now she's starred with the bat and everyone is on their feet applauding what a knock
12:20this has been and now she's made it to that individual landmark and can she see this Irish
12:26side home for an historic victory over Sri Lanka is that 24 needed
12:33launched all the way a high and handsome six from Orla Prendergast
12:42launch leg side backwards of the fielders so the six is followed up by a four as Orla Prendergast
12:48has found some touch in the final over of Visha Dillahari well she's taken four wickets in the
12:54game but her final over could be the difference Orla Prendergast fearless batting strokes it
13:02through the offside four runs off her bat Prabodhani closes out the over with a boundary
13:10dances down no pace on it launches it just about beats it on and that's the win for Ireland can
13:16you believe it back-to-back victories against Sri Lanka fifth place side in the world Ireland in
13:2210th but it didn't look like there was that much of a gulf between the teams today
13:26it's been an enthralling game of cricket which Ireland have come out on top of
