Dalzell hits winning runs to give Ireland dramatic win over England
Ireland's Alana Dalzell catches out England's Bess Heath during the third One Day International match at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Stormont, Belfast, September 11, 2024

ALANA DALZELL hit a four off the final ball to give Ireland their first ODI victory over England since 2001 in a dramatic finish to the rain-hit third one-day international in Belfast.

Three wickets fell in the final over as Mady Villiers looked to have done enough to turn the game back in England’s favour, only for Dalzell to take full advantage of a misfield from Hollie Armitage and win it off the final delivery.

The match had been reduced to 22 overs per side after four-and-a-half hours were lost to rain, and England were then bowled out for 153 — despite 52 off 42 balls from Tammy Beaumont — as Aimee Maguire claimed five for 19 for Ireland.
