Original post on mastodon.social

6-11 added only 23 runs between them for Ireland, in many ways it was a good old fashioned Ireland collapse.

SL 163/6
IRE 143/10
Sri Lanka won by 20 runs […]

That victory means that Sri Lanka close their ICC Women's Championship campaign with 22 points from their 24 games, which leaves them well placed in terms of automatic qualification for the 2025 World Cup (top 5 finishers plus hosts India).
