Four run outs headline a calamitous Scottish display with the bat
2nd T20I: Scotland 126-8 , Ireland 44-1 . Ireland won by 16 runs and win the series 2-0
Ireland capitalised on four Scottish run-outs and a fast start with the bat to stay ahead of the game and secure a series-clinching 16-run win over Scotland via the Duckworth-Lewis method. With one game left in the three-match T20 series, Ireland now hold an unassailable 2-0 lead over a side they will meet again later this month in the World Cup qualifiers.
Akin to Monday’s game, Saskia Horley played a lone hand for Scotland as disastrous running plus Ireland’s ability to chip away with the ball prevented anyone building a partnership with the hosts’ number four, her effort of 44 off 33 balls the only individual score above 20. The farcical running started when Sarah Bryce took an ill-advised single after hitting the ball just to the right of Eimear Richardson on her bowling follow through. Bryce’s look to the skies in anguish half-way down the wicket told you what she thought of her decision as her opening partner Ailsa Lister was run out at the striker’s end by Richardson’s sharp through.
Abbi Aitken-Drummond and Lorna Jack were also run out, the latter by a sharp Amy Hunter throw, though the single was again ill-judged, while the former’s was the worst of the lot as she fell foul of a mix-up that nearly saw both batters at the same end.
