"I was just told to play the first 6 overs and then continue, the aim basically was to last 10 overs, but we were chasing a low score. We wanted to win within 17 overs, Charith (Asalanka) told me to not put myself under any pressure. He then thanked the crowd," and explained the team managem
Starting the chase, Sri Lanka openers Kusal Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva got the team off to a flier, helping the team reach the fifty-run mark within the powerplay. Both the batters looked to be aggressive from the beginning, taking apart the Irish bowlers.
The Sri Lankan bowlers kept things tight and picked wickets at regular intervals not allowing the Irish inning to flourish, and restricting them to a below-par total. Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga picked up two wickets each.
Ireland will be high on confidence with their win over two-time World Cup champions West Indies, knocking them out of the tournament and will once again rely on the explosive batting of Paul Stirling to give them a good start.
