England Vs Ireland

Ireland Batting First:

Ireland batted first and they batted brilliantly through 50 overs and scored 269 loss of 7 wickets. Skipper Porterfield scored a brilliant century and good support from the other batsmen.

England Fielding:

Initially England captain Eoin Morgan calls heads and it lands as it is, which means England captain won the toss and elected to field. England fielding was too worried today, they have missed few runs and dropped few catches which cause them to chase a little bit stick target in the end.

Rankin from England bowled brilliantly and picked up 4 important wickets, first spell he took two important wickets and at the end of the innings he took two more, specially poterfield's wicket help them to restrict Ireland below 300 runs. Last 5 overs Ireland scored 45 runs loss of 2 wickets.

England Chasing:

Brilliant start by the Ireland bowlers. Great first spell for two seamers from Ireland, Murtagh & Johnston. Johnston provide a big sitback for England chasing took a very important first wicket of his very first ball of 2nd over.

England Collapse:

Ireland picking wickets very regular intervals and keep the pressure going to England. England require run rate also reached over 6.3 and they have lost four of their batsmen inside 15 overs which cause them big big problem. At the end of 15 overs England scored just 49 runs loss of 4 wickets in 3.2 run per over rate, they required 221 runs from 35 overs 6 wickets in hand, they have to score around 6.3 per over from here.

Ireland Fielding:

Ireland start the 2nd innings in big positive mind set and their body language too very positive from the start of first ball. They have saved around 10 to 15 runs in the first 15 overs. They have to keep the tempo go throughout the innings to win this match. Will wait and see the remaining match.
