Ireland began their bid to qualify for next year’s Women’s T20 World Cup with a 14-run defeat by Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Bangladesh posted 143-4 in the Group A opener with captain Nigar Sultana hitting 67 from 53 balls. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ireland were reduced to 5-2 in reply and Eimear Richardson top scored with 40 as they were bowled out for 129.<\/span><\/p>\n

The top two from the eight-team qualifying tournament will progress to the finals in South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bangladesh produced a strong batting display against an Irish side sitting two places below them in the world rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Richardson removed opener Murshida Khatun (16) to leave Bangladesh on 28-1 before Nigar Sultana and Shamina Sultana (48) put on 62 for the second wicket.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Gaby<\/span><\/span>

Bangladesh set a competitive target with Leah Paul, Arlene Kelly and captain Laura Delany also picking up a wicket.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ireland’s reply got off to a miserable start as key batter Gaby Lewis was out for a golden duck while Orla Prendergast was soon to follow for two.<\/span><\/p>\n

Belfast schoolgirl Amy Hunter (33) and captain Delany (28) steadied the innings before the Bangladesh attack took control.<\/span><\/p>\n

Richardson provided much-needed resistance as the wickets tumbled but it was not enough as the Irish were bowled out with Salma Khatun taking 3-19.<\/span><\/p>\n

Irish will face USA at the Tolerance Oval in Abu Dhabi on Monday before Wednesday’s final group game against Scotland at the same venue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teams need a top-two finish in their group to reach Friday’s semi-finals with the winners of the last-four contests guaranteed passage to next year’s tournament, irrespective of the result in the qualifier final on 25 September.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
