Maia Bouchier powers England to record ODI run chase against Ireland

Maia Bouchier hit a century to lead England to a record one-day international run chase against Ireland in the series opener at Leicester on Tuesday. England successfully reached their target of 282 runs, finishing at 283-4 with six wickets and 71 balls to spare.

Ireland had earlier posted a total of 281-5, bolstered by three half-centuries from their batters. The victory marks a historic chase for the England women's team, driven significantly by Bouchier's standout performance following her recent omission from national selection.
