    "editor1": "<p>Colombo, Feb 10 (CRICKETNMORE): India posted a comprehensive 125-run victory over Ireland for a third consecutive win in Group A to ensure a place in the Super Six stage of the ICC Womens Cricket World Cup Qualifier here on Friday.&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/hyderabad-test-india-declare-at-687-6-vs-bangladesh--23753\">Hyderabad Test: India declare at 687-6 vs Bangladesh<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India opener Thirush Kamini struck a career-best 113 not out with 11 fours and four sixes as India posted a challenging 250 for two. She figured in a 174-run opening stand with Deepti Sharma (89) who knocked up her second half-century of the tournament.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The left-handed pair batted close to 40 overs in what was India&#39;s first opening century-stand in ODIs in close to four years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ireland, which had lost to Sri Lanka earlier in the league, could only manage 125 off 49.1 overs with leg-spinner Poonam Yadav the most successful bowler taking three for 30.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gaby Lewis (33) and Isobel Joyce (31) could only prolong the inevitable in sultry weather.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India, who lead the Group A standings, previously defeated Sri Lanka and Thailand while they are due to play Zimbabwe on February 13.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kamini said in an ICC release: &quot;Getting a hundred for India is always special. It was really satisfying to get runs today when the team required a good opening partnership. The ball was not coming on to the bat later in the innings so getting runs was not easy. I&#39;d gone into the match aiming to get runs at a fair pace and succeeded in that.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, in a Group B contest Pakistan scored a huge 236-run victory over Papua New Guinea as openers Ayesha Zafar (115 retired) and Javeria Khan (100) flayed the attack to add 212 runs in 38 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan amassed 276 for five in 50 overs and then dismissed PNG for only 40 runs off 24.5 overs, with young left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu grabbing five for 11.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In another match, Bangladesh defeated Scotland by seven wickets with Rumana Ahmed putting in an all-round performance of 38 not out and two for 23.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Scotland were bowled out for 140 in 49.1 overs with off-spinners Khadija Tul Kabra and Salma Khatun bagging three wickets each. Bangladesh got to the target off only 37.3 overs with Fargana Hoque top-scoring with 53 not out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In Group A, Zimbabwe registered their first win, beating Thailand by 36 runs.<\/p>\r\n",
