India qualified for the Women’s T20 World Cup semi-finals with a five-run Duckworth-Lewis-Stern win over Ireland in a rain-curtailed match in Gqeberha.
Ireland were 54-2 in the ninth over, chasing 156, when heavy rain forced an early end to the match.
The win means India join England in qualifying from Group 2.
Smriti Mandhana had earlier survived being dropped four times to hit a career-best 87 from 56 balls to help India reach 155-6.
