Ireland topped Group B after their massive 56-run win over Zimbabwe powered by a terrific opening stand by Hunter and Lewis, who hammered 131 runs for the opening wicket in 14 overs.

Meanwhile, Kathryn Bryce was at her best for Scotland as they overpowered the USA in the Group A fixture to complete their second win of the tournament.
