Ellis 以 B McCarthy
Wicket. 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.
