IRE 1ST

OUT! Caught. Nathan Ellis to Barry McCarthy. Slower ball back of a length, down leg side on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, caught by Green. Australia secured a commanding 67-run victory in a dominant performance. Ireland suffered a major blow as captain Paul Stirling was forced to retire hurt a ball into the run chase, and it was a disastrous start as they lost four further wickets in the powerplay. Lorcan Tucker and George Dockrell fought valiantly to ensure respectability but the target always looked beyond them from that point. The Australian bowling attack was clinical, consistently striking at regular intervals and never allowing the opposition to build partnerships. Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa were particularly impressive, each taking four wickets between them and putting the Irish batting line-up under relentless pressure. Nathan Ellis is the Player of the Match.

Over 20. 13 runs. Bowler: Mark Adair. Australia: 182/6(rr 9.10)

Mark Adair to Cooper Connolly. Slower ball back of a length, down leg side on the front foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid wicket for 1 run, shy attempt by Tector, fielded by Tucker. That concludes the first innings, as a strong finish takes Australia to a total of 182. Travis Head fell early but Josh Inglis and Cameron Green provided the early impetus. Matt Renshaw anchored the innings but Ireland kept Australia in check with regular wickets in the first half. Marcus Stoinis joined Renshaw and dominated the partnership of 61, his 45 off 29 balls providing needed momentum before some late boundaries saw 33 come off the final three overs. Mark Adair took two wickets for Ireland but leaked runs at the end. Can the Australian bowlers' back up the batters efforts to secure a win in their opening game or can Ireland pull off an upset? Join us for the chase shortly.
