Women's T20 WC: 'The Belief Was Always There,' Says Prendergast After Guiding Ireland To Victory
T20 World Cup: Player of the Match Orla Prendergast said Ireland's belief never faded despite a difficult tournament after her match-winning half-century guided the team to its first-ever victory in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup with a six-wicket win over West Indies at the County Ground on Saturday.
Prendergast produced a brilliant 63 off 44 balls, hitting eight fours and two sixes, as Ireland comfortably chased down 129 in 18.1 overs. The all-rounder also contributed in the field as Ireland completed a memorable all-round performance to end their campaign on a high.
Reflecting on the historic victory, Prendergast said the win was especially satisfying because the squad had remained confident throughout the tournament despite a series of disappointing results.
