Amy Hunter and Gaby Lewis compiled their third century partnership together in Abu Dhabi on Monday to set Ireland on the way to a comfortable 56-run victory over Zimbabwe in Group B of the T20 World Cup Qualifier.

After seeing off the UAE in their opening games, the Girls in Green will qualify for the semi-finals - and a do-or-die crack at reaching the finals in Bangladesh in the autumn - if they beat minnows Vanuatu on Wednesday.
