Gaby Lewis Stays Positive Despite Ireland’s Heavy Defeat to Sri Lanka in Women’s T20 World Cup

By IANS News June 23, 2026 • 23:25 PM View: 842

Ireland captain Gaby Lewis remained optimistic about her team's progress despite a comprehensive nine-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, saying the experience of competing against stronger opposition will only make the side "hungrier" to improve.

Ireland posted 130/5 after recovering from a disastrous start, with Lewis leading the rescue effort through a fighting 59-run knock. However, Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu stole the show with a magnificent unbeaten 106 off 61 balls, guiding her side to 134/1 in just 15.3 overs at the County Ground on Tuesday.
