DAY 4 at the T20 World Cup had it all. Undefeated runs continuing, first wins of the tournament and some coming away with a lot of unanswered questions.

England stay undefeated but don’t have it all its own way against neighbour

England remains undefeated after two matches of its campaign, but certainly did not have it all its own way against a fearless Irish side.

Ireland batted first, and did not make a very competitive total, only making 105 before being bowled out with ten balls left in its innings.

Gabby Lewis topped the batting tally for the Emerald Isle with 36, but only four batters made a double figure score so a big tally was always going to be tricky.

Meanwhile for the English the wicket taking duties were evenly spread. All bar one bowler used got a wicket, with Sarah Glenn and Sophie Ecclestone both picking up three and Charlie Dean picking up two.

In reply, England went about the chase with a quick pace, but this also meant plenty of catching chances for the Irish. The English lost six wickets on their way to reaching the tally, with five of them dismissed via a catch.

The main thing for the English was that they still reached the tally in the 15th over. Alice Capsey was the pick of the batters with a 22 ball 51, while for Ireland Cara Murray picked up three wickets.

South Africa on the board as New Zealand are left reeling

After a shock loss first up, South Africa are on the board at its home World Cup, defeating New Zealand by 65 runs to leave the White Ferns reeling and winless after two poor performances.

The Proteas chose to bat first, and only made 6/132 from their 20 overs. They lost 2/13 inside the first two and a half overs, and it was a sign of what was to come as they made it to the only sometimes competitive tally.

However they would have been in real trouble without Chloe Tryon, who made 40 to score about a third of South Africa’s entire total.

Meanwhile for New Zealand both Lea Tahuhu and Eden Carson picked up two wickets.

In reply New Zealand lost its first wicket on the second ball of their innings, which really foreshadowed what was to come for the White Ferns.

Only three Kiwi batters (Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine and Jess Kerr) made a double figure score as the Kiwis were bowled out for 67 with 11 balls left in the innings. Devine was the best of these with 16.

Meanwhile for South Africa Nonkululeko Mlaba took three wickets, while Tryon and Marizanne Kapp took two each.
