A superb innings of 137 by Leah Paul helped Ireland inflict a crushing 210-run win on the Netherlands on a record-breaking day to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the one-day international series.
Paul was one of two centurions for the tourists in Amstelveen alongside captain Laura Delany and it helped achieve a record total of 337 for eight for Ireland, who won Monday’s opener by five wickets.
This result was never in doubt from the change of innings and Cara Murray’s five for 39 saw Netherlands all out for 127 to wrap up the three-match series with one more fixture remaining.
