Cricket World's Player of the Week - Kate Cross, England Women

England captain Kate Cross took two wickets in two balls to end Ireland's innings, finishing with career-best figures of 6-30.

The match kicked off England Women's first tour of Ireland in almost 30 years and was the first of three ODIs and two T20Is between the two sides.

With the sun shining brightly at Stormont, stand-in captain Gaby Lewis called right at the toss and elected to bat but both the skipper and her fellow opener Una Raymond-Hoey fell early to leave the hosts 21-2 inside the first six overs.

Prendergast then combined superbly with Leah Paul (33) in a 77-run stand for the fourth wicket which continued moving Ireland in the right direction as Prendergast made a third ODI half century.

She eventually fell for an excellent 76 from 87 deliveries, a knock that included eight fours and one six. The efforts of Prendergast helped Ireland Women post their highest-ever total against England in ODIs as Ed Joyce's team closed out their innings on 210.
