not looking very good against bermuda today, the team that got skittled by kenya have amassed 154/1 off 31 overs. the lads must be still mentally exhausted from yesterday's game but we basically need to win all our games from here on in to qualify, including beating an impressive looking kenya who are skittling the dutch.

DMC

Big ask for these lads to play two one-days in a row, considering how deflating yesterdays result was.

Bermuda 255/6 off 48 overs at present.

I'd still fancy Ireland to get that...

KevIRL

275/8 for Bemuda in the end

Ireland 52/0 (8ovs)

Run rate is 6.50 req rate 5.33

KevIRL

2 quick wickets leaves Ireland on 81/2 (16ovs)

KevIRL

127/2 (23 ovs)

Porterfield 53no
O Brien 23no

Run rate has picked back up over the last few ovs to 5.52. Req rate is also 5.52

KevIRL

151/3 (28ovs)

Porterfield not out on 65. Gonna need him to stay in there for a bit.

KevIRL

Ireland 175/3

require 101 to win 16 ovs remaining

R/R 5.15 Req Rate 6.31

phew! won with 8 balls to spare, porterfield carried his bat w 112. trent johnston came in at the end and whalloped 2 6's and a single, a real captain's effort. hopefully the lads will kick on from here and win the rest of the games and get a rain affected draw with the kenyans!

Canada might beat Scotland today, if every one of the tops teams loses one game, the NRR from Ireland's loss might help. I think. /me grabs calculator!

dereko1969

scotland just about beat canada, it's a very tight league, only kenya look capable of beating everyone else. hopefully we'll put the cat among the pigeons by beating them on friday.

ireland going great guns against kenya today. tons for porterfield (2 in a row for him) and k o'brien. apparently kenya have been brutal in the field. here's hoping the bowlers can match the batsmen and come up trumps and give us an unexpected win. while i'm writing o'brien was run out chasing a second off the last ball - my total is 284/4 - the text commentary is a bit ahead of the scoreboard.

KevIRL

Kenya wicket gone already. 8/1 (2ovs)

With Joyce's ton in Australia, could the Irish team set up a fantastic day for Irish cricket???:D

KevIRL

Kenya 51/1 (7ovs)

R/R 7.29 Req Rate 5.44

KevIRL

Kenya 95/2 (15ovs)

R/R 6.33 Req Rate 5.43

KevIRL

Kenya 108/3 (19.4ovs)


Odhiambo at 47no is the danger

R/R 5.49 Req Rate 5.84

KevIRL

Kenya 142/4 (29ovs)

Odhiambo gone for 66. 28th over was a wicket maiden

R/R 4.90 Req Rate 6.76

Come on Ireland!

KevIRL

Scotland made 207/8 in a game reduced to 37 ovs against Holland today. Would be good if they were beaten, could end up in a big tie up at the top by the end of the league if we beat Kenya and later Holland.

great stuff from mccallan, here's hoping for green and orange victories today!
