Scotland secured their first T20 World Cup win thanks to an impressive 40-run victory over Ireland in the Old Trafford opener.

A superb 106-run partnership between Kathryn Bryce (60) and her sister Sarah Bryce (49) helped the Scots to 161-5 from their 20 overs.

Kirstie Gordon took three wickets in an over as the Irish struggled in reply and they were bowled out for 121.

Scotland tasted victory for a first time at the fifth attempt while Ireland’s miserable T20 World Cup record continues, having lost all 18 games.
