LONDON: England thrashed Ireland in a record-breaking 275-run win as they skittled out the hosts for just 45 in Monday´s second women´s one-day international (ODI) in Belfast.
Experienced opener Tammy Beaumont´s unbeaten 150 -- her 10th century at this level -- powered England to a total of 320-8 in their 50 overs. It was far too much for a fledgling Ireland team, who were bowled out inside 17 overs, with England captain Kate Cross taking 3-8 and new-ball partner Lauren Filer 3-10.
Ireland opener Una Raymond-Hoey´s 22 was the only double-figure score of an innings that ended with England 2-0 up in a three-match series. England´s largest women´s ODI win in terms of runs was achieved by a mainly second-strong team, with the majority of their T20 World Cup squad not involved.
