Hold their heads, i think they get home. Lots of cheap runs available.

gavinoontheweb · 23-10-2019 1:42pm

Keep targeting this aul fella Cheema 41 years of living doesn't aid sharp T20 fielding!

These two gotta stay in there though

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 1:47pm

Tector stumped.

Joe_ Public · 23-10-2019 1:47pm

Thats not keeping your head though, is it?

riffmongous · 23-10-2019 1:51pm

Wilson out now too, turning into a real disaster

Joe_ Public · 23-10-2019 1:52pm

Cant really argue with that in fairness!

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 1:56pm

Thats topping the group gone. So will need to try to qualify a much more convoluted way, may v well end up meeting the Scots in a all or nothing match

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 1:59pm

Almost a great catch by Kumar out in the deep, but it just eludes him and goes for 4.

98-6 off 14. 59 needed off the last 6 with just 4 wickets remaining.

Joe_ Public · 23-10-2019 2:06pm

Nearly 11 an over required. Big ask but not impossible. Couple of massive overs required by this pair.

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 2:17pm

Thompson gets a six, only the second boundary in the last 8 overs.

35 off the last 3 needed. Still in miracle territory.

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 2:21pm

Only 1 off the last two balls in that over, so Ireland need a massive 27 from the last 2 overs.

Shakey_jake · 23-10-2019 2:25pm

Need someone to step up and bat a few 6s

Come on Ireland!!

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 2:26pm

19 needed off the last.

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 2:30pm

Gone

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 2:31pm

Canada win by 10 runs.

Our struggles in T20 in recent years continue.

Is1ldur · 23-10-2019 2:32pm

To lose by so little and still have wickets in hand suggest that we should have slung the bat at a few more in the last few overs, although I was not watching the game, so I assume it was more difficult for them at the death. Anyone watching it?

Canada bowled well and the pitch was a bit slow and it's always hard to ask the tailenders to hit boundaries from the off. The boundaries as well were long, so it made it that bit more difficult for sixes.

Joe_ Public · 23-10-2019 2:36pm

They did try at the death but combination of big boundaries and quite decent bowling was against them. Lost it middle order i thought, loads of 2s and even 3s available to run but went for too many big shots.

Makes sense. Thanks for the info.

Canada provided the perfect template for that and with Ireland having had a good start, they could have just milked the 1s and 2s and put the pressure back on Canada.

Jersey on Friday now and that really is a must win to stay in the competition.

Shakey_jake · 23-10-2019 2:40pm

Hopefully a few more twists and turns to come yet

Richard Hillman · 23-10-2019 3:01pm

The Global T20 tournament looks to have been a massive help to the Canadian players. The T20 Slam would have been great for our players but had to revert to playing Scotland and Netherlands instead.

You can underestimate how much those Canadian players would have learned from the top players involved in the Global T20.

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 3:24pm

Mad to think that HK beating Jersey today would be a good result for us

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 5:35pm

HK 89/6 after 14

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 6:03pm

HK make 144/7

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 7:55pm

Hong Kong win by 8 runs

KevIRL · 24-10-2019 10:16am

PNG beat netherlands and UAE beat Nigeria this morning

KevIRL · 24-10-2019 12:45pm

Hong Kong make 149/7 v Canada

gavinoontheweb · 24-10-2019 1:23pm

We probably don't deserve to top this group but a HK victory here would help, following this we would obviously have to win our remaining games and potentially rely on some other results going our way also.

Maybe an Oman win over Canada and then Oman slipping up to jersey?

KevIRL · 24-10-2019 1:45pm

Canada really struggling here. On 47/3 in the 11th.

Brings Hong Kong into the play off reckoning

Almost impossible for us to top the group at this point. Important for us to finish either 2nd or 3rd which means we would be one win away from qualifying in the playoffs plus we would have a safety net even if we lost that first play off game.

KevIRL · 24-10-2019 3:03pm

Canada only make 118/9

Barney92 · 24-10-2019 5:58pm

Scotland are about to post the first 200 score of the tournament. They'll be dangerous if we meet them in the playoffs.

A not too crazy scenario is one where Canada beat Oman but lose to the UAE, in which case those three teams will end up on 8 points (assuming Oman beat Jersey). Two big wins would see us through in first then.

Whether or not the above happens, two wins will almost certainly bring us to the playoffs whereas losing one could cost us big time.

Shakey_jake · 24-10-2019 9:21pm

I still think we have it in us to post a big score like the scots today. Looking forward to tomorrow

KevIRL · 25-10-2019 6:44am

Ireland win the toss and put Jersey in

KevIRL · 25-10-2019 7:06am

Wicket in the first over

Collie D · 25-10-2019 7:06am

Good start with the ball. Jersey 1/1 after one over.

KevIRL · 25-10-2019 7:17am

Jersey 28/1 after 4. Decent recovery

KevIRL · 25-10-2019 7:24am

Second wicket

KevIRL · 25-10-2019 7:30am

Three down

Hodors Appletart · 25-10-2019 7:35am

four

Hodors Appletart · 25-10-2019 7:47am

Irish bowling is looking good this morning

52/5 10.3

KevIRL · 25-10-2019 8:03am

66/6

Speak Now · 25-10-2019 8:18am

84/8

Speak Now · 25-10-2019 8:20am

Adair 3 for 4 from 3 overs, doesn't get more economical than that at 20/20.

Hodors Appletart · 25-10-2019 8:29am

99 for nine

Adair to bowl last over I guess.

KevIRL · 25-10-2019 8:33am

104/9 in the end

Hodors Appletart · 25-10-2019 8:34am

Ireland require 105

not as easy as it looks I think although the ground is smaller than the other one out there
