Sophia Dunkley's century powered England to a commanding 114-run victory over Ireland in the third and final one-day international at New Road in Worcester, securing a 3-0 series sweep. Dunkley scored 119 runs off 119 balls, setting up England's total of 291 before Ireland was bowled out for 177.
England appeared poised for a larger total after Dunkley's second international century, but the team lost six wickets for just 31 runs, ultimately being dismissed in the 48.5th over. Dunkley and opener Maia Bouchier built a 73-run partnership, with Bouchier contributing 39. Jodi Grewcock added 35, and Alice Capsey was run out for 10. Freya Kemp scored 23 and Dani Gibson reached an ODI-best 41, but Kemp's dismissal sparked the late batting collapse.
Leg-spinner Cara Murray was the most effective bowler for Ireland, taking 4-56. England managed only seven boundaries after Dunkley's departure in the 36th over.
Despite the innings' faltering finish, England's score proved more than sufficient. Amy Hunter led Ireland's scoring with 39, but no Irish batter maintained a strike rate above 100 as the run rate became unachievable. Mady Villiers and Lauren Filer each took three wickets for England.
The match marked the conclusion of England's international summer. The team's next confirmed fixtures include the Champions Trophy in February, preceded by a multi-format series against the West Indies and three ODIs against Sri Lanka, though specific dates for the latter two series have not yet been announced.
