A day after taking a hat-trick in a rain-shortened match against Pakistan, leg-spinner Alana King claims 3-9 off four overs in a nine-wicket win over the Irish.
Fresh off a hat-trick in the rained-out first game of Australia's Twenty20 tri-series, leg-spinner Alana King has bamboozled Ireland in a thumping nine-wicket win.
Darcie Brown was also impressive as Ireland finished their 20 overs on 8-99, which Australia chased down inside 13 overs. By the same point in their innings, Ireland had already lost three wickets — opener Gaby Lewis caught in the deep off the final ball of the opening over from Megan Schutt, with first drop Orla Prendergast and captain Laura Delany falling to Brown.
Four balls later, King clean bowled Rebecca Stokell for Ireland's top score of 22, although the fielding side contributed more to the run-scoring, with 23 extras.
