Well, 199 to win. It is below 200 at least.

[Exquisiteblue]

think we let them wag a little too much there. Could prove difficult

Overall 262,719 255,542

Man of the match: Tetsuya Naito (3 points), Zaid Abbas (2), Donnacha Byrne (1)

Ireland batted first and set a reasonable target of 199. 4 wickets from Naito and 3 wickets from Abbas did little to slow down Ireland’s batting. 40s from Salah and Jabbar not enough to chase down Ireland’s total.

The match in a tweet: oh yeah that’s what usually happens in international cricket. Win streak of 1 done.

Our best:
Tetsuya Naito - the obb Leggie took 4/45 off his 8 overs.

Zaid Abbas - 3/39 off the mediums 10 overs.

Kamil Salah - 2 catches and 41 with the bat, 3 fours and a six. Also both catches were the same commentary line. Niche.

15.1 W Naito to Stirling : [catch] Short down the leg side, it was close to the body. Stirling looks to pull, gets a glove to it, and it goes straight into the gloves of K. Salah, who takes it gleefully.P. Stirling c K. Salah b. T. Naito 25 (38b 3x4 0x6) SR:65.79

30.4 W Abbas to Ennis : [catch] Short down the leg side, it was close to the body. Ennis looks to pull, gets a glove to it, and it goes straight into the gloves of K. Salah, who takes it gleefully.B. Ennis c K. Salah b. Z. Abbas 35 (62b 4x4 0x6) SR:56.45

Kamal Qassem - 2/25 off 10 overs, 3 of which were maidens.


Possible room for improvement:
20 extras (8 byes, 2 leg byes, 4 wides, 6 no balls)
We would expect the keeping extras to reduce as Salah settles into the National scene and continues to improve.

[Dropped] 3 off these. 2 before we snagged the first breakthrough.

Stirling dropped on 13 and again on 19, makes 25.
Dempsey dropped on 17, makes 37.

If I can maths, those drops cost us 32 runs. We lost by 47…

Around the Grounds:
South Africa beat USA by 4 wickets. Batting first on a dry Didn’t work for the USA.

Pakistan beat the West Indies by 3 wickets.

Only Ireland remain undefeated after two matches. Everyone else has the one win, except USA who are winless.

A look ahead: we take on the West Indies tomorrow in what is now a must win. Tune in at 1600 as both teams look to continue their winning ways.

The match in a tweet: win the toss bat first ?? score big ?? WIN THE GAME ?? West Indies profit from the ole dry pitch creed - batted first and went large.

Our best:
Cemal Ma’Mun - a patient 60, the only real highlight of our batting.

Amir Alam - 2/47 off his 10 overs

Room for Improvement:

L Thomas dropped on 44, made 59
