India vs Ireland: Three best Indian players as India beat Ireland, qualify for semis in the Women's T20 WC

3. Jemimah Rodrigues

Jemimah Rodrigues scored some important runs for India at the death. She batted decently for her 19 runs off just 12 balls, and took the Indian women's team beyond 150-mark in the innings. It was pivotal for India to get to 155 as apart from Smriti Mandhana, most of the other batters struggled to score runs quickly. Jemimah's little cameo at the end was very pivotal for that. She hit two boundaries in the last over in the bowling of Arlene Kelly, and those runs proved to be the winning runs for India.

She also played a big part in the wicket of Amy Hunter, who was run out first ball courtesy of Jemimah's accurate throw.

2. Renuka Thakur Singh

Renuka has been India's premier bowler in this T20 World Cup. She was instrumental yet again against Ireland. The 27-year-old bowled two tight overs, giving away just 10 runs and picked up a wicket. Renuka disturbed the timbers of Orla Prendergast, one of the more dangerous Irish batters, and gave India the perfect start. Her two economical overs have played a huge part in India's win as they won just by 5 runs.

1. Smriti Mandhana

The real hero for India was Smriti Mandhana, who curated a fantastic inning at a brisk pace when other batters found things difficult. Mandhana scored her career-best 87 runs off just 56 balls and was the main architect of the Indian innings. She batted beautifully, anchored the innings and gave India the foundation against Ireland. Her innings had 9 fours and 3 sixes, as Mandhana glided along with her fantastic batting prowess. Mandhana's top-notch inning also took her to the top of the runs chart as she has 149 runs after three matches.
