WOMEN’S CRICKET: Ireland women can no longer win their Twenty20 series against Sri Lanka after losing the opener in Dublin by seven wickets.

A knock of 39 from Gaby Lewis contributed to what turned out to be a modest total of 145 for six from the hosts.

Harshitha Samarawickrama’s unbeaten 86 was the foundation of Sri Lanka’s reply as the tourists coasted home with 20 balls remaining.
