Delany’s late heroics help Ireland secure T20 clean sweep over Bangladesh
LAST-OVER heroics by Laura Delany helped Ireland edge past Bangladesh by four wickets to secure a clean sweep in their three-match T20 international series.
Orla Prendergast claimed four for 22 to help pull the hosts back in Sylhet and set Ireland 124 for victory, but they slumped to 110 for six in reply.
Number five Delany kept her cool, however, and struck three consecutive fours off Shorna Akter’s final over to help the tourists over the line with a ball to spare.
