New Zealand Women vs Ireland Women, 13th Match, Group B, ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player HighlightsNZW vs IREW, 13th Match, Group B, ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Rosemary Mair to Gaby Lewis, out Caught by Suzie Bates!! Oh no! This is a massive wicket. The well-set Lewis is back on her way to the dugout. New Zealand are thrilled and even the calm Bates is pumped, she does a double fist pump after completing the catch. Slower ball outside off, Lewis comes down the track and has to reach for it, she miscues it straight up and the ball flies over extra cover. Bates takes a few steps back and manages to hang on. Not an easy catch but the veteran did well to cling on even after tumbling on her back. An excellent knock from the Ireland skipper comes to an end. She won't be there to take her side over the line.
