The team’s strong batting display followed earlier half-centuries from captain Smriti Mandhana (73 off 54 balls) and opener Pratika Rawal (67 off 61 balls), who added 156 runs for the first wicket.

The Irish team, led by Gaby Lewis, needed a win to stay alive in the series after losing the first ODI by 7 wickets.
