It is a lot of relief that we won – Ireland captain Laura Delany

Ireland captain Laura Delany, after the win over Zimbabwe, said that the qualification of the side for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 was very important for the growth of cricket in the country.

“It (qualification) is massively important for the growth of the game in Ireland. We feel fortunate that Cricket Ireland has introduced full-time contracts and I think we are starting to see the benefit of that.

“It is a lot of relief that we won. They run us till the last ball, it was a very competitive game. We are thrilled to be there. We have tried to veer off from focusing on the World Cup. We weren’t successful last time so wanted to do things differently. We are proud to have gotten over the line today.”
