Alice Capsey's Quickfire 51 Sets Up England's 4-wicket Win Over Ireland
Top-order batter Alice Capsey smashed a stunning 22-ball 51 to steer England to a four-wicket win over neighbours Ireland in their Women's T20 World Cup group match here on Monday. Capsey, who was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 75 lakh during the Women's Premier League auctions on Monday, struck as many as 10 fours during her whirlwind knock that blew Ireland away and helped England notch up the win -- their second consecutive one -- with 34 balls to spare. Chasing a paltry 106 for a win, England were 69 for 1 at the end of powerplay overs with Capsey going strong with a flurry of boundaries after opener Sophia Dunkley (4) was out cheaply in the first over.
