Ireland narrowly lost to Bangladesh in the final of the ICC Women's World T20 Qualifier held in Bangkok in 2015 but remained on course for a repeat of that final as they made it three wins out of three in the group stages with a comfortable victory over Uganda by eight wickets. Ciara Metcalfe had impressive figures of three for eight as Uganda managed 78 for 8 in their 20 overs. Clare Shillington gave Ireland another flying start with 27 from 21 balls and Ireland will face Papua New Guinea who finished second in Group A in the semi-finals.
