Paul Stirling played his strokes freely in the powerplay and Andrew Balbirnie also joined him after struggling in the initial phase of his innings. Stirling scored 40 runs from 18 balls while Balbirnie scored 60 runs from 37 balls. The batting unit always kept the team in the chase and they almost pulled off an upset.

Hats off Ireland!

Well played Ireland. Almost gave us the 2007 WC vibes when they beat associate nation of Pakistan. @IrelandCricket_ @daniel86cricket

Take a bow

Take a bow, Ireland! Hardly anyone thought that they would get this close to the target, espcially after having 225 on board. They fought extremely hard - Stirling, Balbirnie, Adair, Tector and Dockrell were just too good.

Thank you for the entertainment, @cricketireland.

So close yet so far!

Ireland almost clinched it. Umran Malik would do well to realize that along with pace , skills also required to be a good bolwer. #IREvsIND @VVSLaxman281
