Gaby Lewis (Ireland Women Captain): "Great to see the progression we made from the last game. So hopefully we'll push on to the next game and get the win.
Amy and Orla did really well and we tried to put the pressure back on Bangladesh which was really good. Hopefully we can string a few more partnerships in the next game. We were maybe 20 or 30 runs short. In this championship every game matters."
