England captain Heather Knight admitted Monday that the distraction of the Indian Women's Premier League auction on the day of a Women's T20 World Cup match was "weird". Another WPL target, Alice Capsey, bought by Delhi Capitals for $91,000, set up an early finish by hitting 51 off 22 balls in England's reply. "I'm looking forward to it but my focus now is on captaining England in the World Cup," she said. Brief scores:Ireland 105 in 18.2 overs (G. Lewis 36; S. Ecclestone 3-13, C. Dean 2-26, S. Glenn 3-19). England 107-6 in 14.2 overs (A. Capsey 51; C. Murray 3-15).
