I see WI scored with RR of 10 after 10th over, but yet they failed to achieve the target.
It was yet another close game.
Commends to NZ bowlers to hold their nerves in the death overs.
I see Boult has asked the board to remove him from contracts, which they have accepted.
What does it mean, anyway?
Is he taking a temporary retirement?

Ireland manages to stop AFG at 122
Excellent bowling

@AJ More time at home with his family. Still available for the national team, but not keen on overseas trips.
 
A J
Ohh
 
Good result NZ beating WI in the first game after losing the toss
As you say, a good effort from the bowlers
Ireland looking good
An early wicket though
IRE 27/1 (5) RRR 6.40
IRE 44/1 (7) RRR 6.08
50 partnership for Tucker & Balbirnie

IRE - 72/2 (11.1)
 
Yeah shame

Tucker and Tector are good players
I hope they will finish the game
 
No wickets for Rashid Khan today 0/27 (4)
 
A J
Ohh 😯
Happens
It's not always your day

Two quick wickets!
Tector and Tucker both gone
 
A J

It's Nabi's day
I was counting on them
They brought him late.
 
IRE 87/4 (14) RRR 6.00
They're really sticking to this run-a-ball rate
 
A J
Better late than never
@PaulWhite This is gonna be a close game too
33 from 30
They need a couple of quick boundaries
 
A close low-scoring game
 
A J
They're planning to use Nabi in the last over
@PaulWhite yeah, you don't get too many of them.
 
Makes a nice change actually

Let's see how it goes till 16th over
😀
 
A J
Ha ha
We all know that how important 16-20 overs could be
 
Looks like Ireland are going 2-0 up
 
A J
In T20 of course
Campher out
IRE - 110/5 (16.5)
They should have promoted Adair up
13 runs in 19 18 balls
 
Still feels exciting even though I'm sure Ireland are well ahead
8 needed from the last two
