Preview:

Ireland Women, who stands among the favourites to win this tournament, kick-started their campaign with a win. They defeated Namibia by seven wickets during the only match that was not affected by the rain on opening day. After putting Namibia to bat first, the Irish team came up with a tight bowling effort. Namibia could only make 83/9 despite playing out their 20 overs.

Ireland did lose a couple of early wickets but the target is too less to threaten a defeat. They finished the chase with 33 balls to spare. They will now take on the Netherlands on Sunday who began the competition with a big defeat. Rain cut down the game to 9 overs each. The Dutch Women had no ways and time to recover against Thailand who finished with 76/0 in the restricted overs.
