Pakistan trump Ireland at T20 World Cup

Pakistan have beaten Ireland by 38 runs to claim their first win at the women's World T20.

Ireland are still looking for their first win at the women's World T20 after they lost to Pakistan by 38 runs in Guyana.

Pakistan, who had lost their first two Group B matches to Australia and India, reached 6-139 from their 20 overs.

Javeria Khan was unbeaten on 74 of 52 balls.

Teenager Lucy O'Reilly took an impressive 3-19 but Pakistan's total proved more than enough as Ireland could only manage 9-101.

Only opener Clare Shillington (27 from 25 balls) and Isobel Joyce (30 from 31 balls) reached double figures for Ireland, who lost heavily to Australia by nine wickets in their first match.
