Bryony Smith and Mady Villiers shine with bat as England seal victory in Ireland

England coasted to a 67-run victory over Ireland in the first T20 international in Dublin as Bryony Smith and Mady Villiers made telling contributions with the bat.

Smith’s 58 from 24 balls laid the platform for England’s total of 176, with opening partner Tammy Beaumont sharing an explosive stand of 72 in 6.5 overs.

Seren Smale chipped in with 25 from 19 balls, but a mini-collapse saw England slip from 112 for one to 116 for four.

We take the win in Dublin!
