Oman make 148/9 in the end. A good win for our lads. Pity we couldn't take that last wicket.

VillaMad · 21-10-2019 2:37pm

Vital win as if Oman had won, top spot was probably gone.

Now a three way tie at the top. Ireland behind the UAE on NRR, who had a big win today, but they can certainly get top with a few big wins over the minnows in the group. Canada can go joint top with a victory over Nigeria later, but they haven't faced either Ireland, Oman or UAE yet.

UAE - 4pts - NRR 0.805
Ireland - 4pts - NRR 0.532
Oman - 4pts - NRR -0.049

KevIRL · 21-10-2019 8:02pm

Canada beat Nigeria by 50 runs

KevIRL · 22-10-2019 8:30am

Namibia make 159/6 v Scotland

KevIRL · 22-10-2019 9:01am

Scotland 2 wickets down early on, including Munsey

KevIRL · 22-10-2019 9:52am

Scotland in real bother here v Nambia. 4 wickets down in the 15th over with the required rate over 12

KevIRL · 22-10-2019 10:54am

Scotland get beat. They were fortunate yesterday to get through the game v PNG as well

KevIRL · 22-10-2019 12:40pm

Jersey make 147/9 v UAE in our group

After a solid start UAE are in bad shape now in reply. 83/6 in the 15th over

KevIRL · 22-10-2019 2:19pm

Win for Jersey. Potentially a great result for us, should we win our last 3 games that is.

riffmongous · 22-10-2019 8:40pm

Fascinating tournament so far, pretty close groups. Netherlands looking good

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 6:39am

Yeah it really shows how on any given day a big upset is possible in t20. The scots are fortunate to be even in with a shout.

Looking ahead further though, they are a potentially dangerous opponent if we don't top the group, really wouldn't fancy ending up playing them in a one off match to qualify

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 8:23am

Oman restrict Nigeria to just 75 in 19.5 overs. They could do their net run rate some real good today

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 9:13am

Oman get there in exactly 7 overs

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 10:52am

Canada win toss and will bat. Huge game this one for Ireland

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 11:48am

Canada 64/1 after 9. Early wicket but a solid partnership being built now and run rate increasing

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 11:56am

Canada on 83/1 after 11. Bookies now have it 9/10 Ireland and 9/10 Canada

Dhaliwal on 53 not out and the partnership is 70

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 12:03pm

This is going to be massive score by Canada.

Yep Canada 8/11 favs.

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 12:11pm

Horrible drop by Adair. A straightforward catch somehow spilled.

Next ball goes for six.

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 12:13pm

Now finally a wicket. Shot straight to a fielder on the boundary.

Dhaliwal gone for 69. 124-2.

Barney92 · 23-10-2019 12:17pm

Hopefully Canada try to go too big and end up throwing a few away. Even so, we should be able to chase down anything between 160-170.

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 12:18pm

Kumar gone now. Canada lose a couple of quick wickets trying the big shots.

132-3 off 16.2 overs.

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 12:21pm

Another gone. Rankin bowls it on a beautiful length and Tariq can only spoon it up in the air to O'Brien.

133-4 off 16.4.

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 12:23pm

Ireland 8/11 favs now. Canada 11/10

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 12:27pm

142-4 off 18. Really good last few overs by Ireland. Can they restrict them to under 160?

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 12:35pm

153-5. Run out as the off-strike batsmen tried to steal a single.

3 balls left in the innings.

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 12:37pm

156/5 in the end. No gimme

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 12:39pm

Only 32 off the final 5 overs when carnage was expected.

The Irish top order are in good form. Let's hope they can keep it up.

gavinoontheweb · 23-10-2019 12:39pm

Will still be a very competitive chase but a solid effort from Delany and Adair at the end after Rankin's wickets keeping them to 156 when it could have been 170+

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 12:59pm

Kob out

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 1:03pm

Delaney in at 3. Is balbirnie still sick?

Presumably after his knock on Monday, why change it?

Balbirnie in at 4, I'd say.

Ye it looks like a good shout if Stirling and Delany can make some hay in this powerplay, I'd say Balbo would have come in at 3 if the opening pair lasted the 6 overs.

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 1:14pm

40/1 after 4

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 1:14pm

Massive six by Stirling.

Ireland 40-1 after 4. Well ahead of Canada who were 19-1 for at the same stage.

Great start.

Joe_ Public · 23-10-2019 1:16pm

8 free runs last 6 balls. Chronic misfielding by canada.

Edit: man, what a jinx!!

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 1:17pm

Gareth Delany run out. Just what we didn't want.

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 1:18pm

Balbirnie bowled first ball! 44-3.

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 1:20pm

Disaster. Need these two to knuckle down now

BOHtox · 23-10-2019 1:21pm

Balls. Run rate is fine, we need to slow down and keep wickets. There actually may be value in Wilson coming in here and getting 30 off 30 balls with Stirling staying in.

EDIT: It's Tector. That's good. But Wilson may very well need to step up and be counted here.

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 1:25pm

52-3 at the end of the powerplay.

Canada were 35-1 at the same stage.

Canada seemed to rotate the strike very well in the middle overs. Can we do the same

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 1:29pm

Stirling gone. Disaster!

KevIRL · 23-10-2019 1:30pm

Fooked now

Joe_ Public · 23-10-2019 1:31pm

This is crazy!

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 1:32pm

Tector should have been run but the Canadians messed it up.

Joe_ Public · 23-10-2019 1:34pm

Canadians giving them a chance.

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 1:36pm

66-4 off 9.

91 needed off 11.

VillaMad · 23-10-2019 1:40pm

8 off that over. 74-4.
