Ireland Women edged Bangladesh Women by four wickets in the final T20I of the series, securing a 3-0 series sweep with a dramatic last-over victory in Sylhet on Monday, reports UNB.
Chasing 124 for victory, Ireland needed 15 runs off the final over. Laura Delany turned the game on its head, smashing three consecutive boundaries off Shorna Akter to seal the win with one ball to spare.
Delany's unbeaten 36 off 31 balls earned her Player of the Match honors.
Ireland's chase was anchored by Amy Hunter (28 off 24) and Gaby Lewis (21 off 24), but Bangladesh's disciplined bowling, led by Rabeya Khan (2-17), kept the game in the balance until Delany's heroics.
