ESPNcricinfo staff09-Dec-2024Ireland women completed a landmark 3-0 sweep of the T20I series in Bangladesh, clinching the final game of the series in a last-over thriller.Their victories over Bangladesh across the three games – by 12 runs, 47 runs and four wickets respectively – completed a superb turnaround after their 0-3 ODI-series blanking earlier in the tour. This morale-boosting series win in the subcontinent also came at the perfect time, with an ODI tour of India coming up in January 2025.Allrounder Orla Prendergast, Ireland’s star with the ball on the series, finished with ten wickets that included two three-fors and a career-best 4 for 22 in the final game.”We showed just how good a side we are in each of those three games,” Prendergast said while collecting the Player-of-the-Series award after Ireland’s nerve-racking chase. “And what a finish, that’s the best way to finish.”In every game we’ve played, different players have stood up and put their hands up. It’s a great place to be in our squad, to have so many good players throughout our batting line-up and so many bowlers who have come in and change the game.”
