Their victories over Bangladesh across the three games – by 12 runs, 47 runs and four wickets respectively – completed a superb turnaround from their 0-3 ODI-series blanking earlier in the tour. This morale-boosting series win in the subcontinent also came at the perfect time, with the ODI tour of India coming up in January 2025.
“We showed just how good a side we are in each of those three games,” Prendergast said while collecting the Player-of-the-Series award after Ireland’s nerve-racking chase. “And what a finish, that’s the best way to finish.
“In every game we’ve played, different players have stood up and put their hands up. It’s a great place to be in our squad, to have so many good players throughout our batting line-up and so many bowlers who have come in and change the game.”
“Delighted with how that last over went, but more so just delighted for the team,” Delany said. “We played some really good cricket in this T20I series and to finish it off with a win today just shows everyone what we’re capable of.
“The youngsters inspire me. They’re fearless, their aggressive nature. It’s something I try and strive to emulate with my own game but plenty of work to do there. “
“We don’t often come to these subcontinent conditions so any time we get out here we just want to learn as much as possible and we’ve showed that this series,” she said. “We’ve got better, and that’s great to see.”
