IRE VS SCO - 3rd Match, Ireland T20I Tri-Series 2019

Ireland jump to the top of the table after this victory and will be facing Netherlands tomorrow who find themselves at the bottom of the points table. Join us for that, until then good bye and take care.

16:37 Local Time, 15:37 GMT, 21:07 IST: Well, 194 isn't a small target in this format by any stretch of the imagination but Ireland made it look that way. It was a proper walk in the park for them on this sunny afternoon in Dublin. Gareth Delany struck his maiden fifty and provided the platform for Ireland at the top of the order. Their star player, Kevin O Brien failed but Balbirnie played a gem of a knock at number three. His 64 runs at a strike rate of 200 peg Scotland back who lacked the incisiveness in their bowling on this placid batting track. Ireland kept losing wickets in the end but that didn't stop them from going for their shots. And Balbirnie had done enough damage to ensure they cross the line without any discomfort.
