Scotland secured their first T20 World Cup win thanks to an impressive 40-run victory over Ireland in the Old Trafford opener.
A superb 106-run partnership between skipper Kathryn Bryce (60) and her sister Sarah Bryce (49) helped the Scots to 161-5 from their 20 overs.
Kirstie Gordon took three wickets in an over as the Irish struggled in reply and they were bowled out for 121.
Scotland tasted victory for a first time at the fifth attempt while Ireland’s miserable T20 World Cup record continues, having lost all 18 games.
Ireland won the toss and elected to bowl first in a cold, windy and mainly overcast Manchester.
It looked to be a good decision as the Scots were reduced to 36-2, but the Bryce sisters changed the momentum of the match with a decisive third-wicket partnership.
Kathryn’s quickfire 60 from 39 balls included six boundaries and a six while the pair piled up 36 runs from just two overs.
