Chasing 158, England’s hard-hitting top order faced an implosion yet again. Medium pacer Josh Little dismissed dangerous opener Jos Buttler (0) and Alex Hales (7), reducing England to 14/2 in their 2.4 overs. Dawid Malan started off playing some good shots, but England lost yet another star batter as Ben Stokes’ stumps were castled by medium pacer Fionn Hand for just 6 off 8 balls. The former champions were reduced to 29/3.
Malan was joined by youngster Harry Brook and both took England through the remainder of the powerplay safely. In six overs, England was at 37/3, with Malan (15*) and Brook (3*) at the crease.
England reached the 50-run mark in 8.5 overs. The duo started to build a partnership, taking England’s chase in the right direction. At the end of 10 overs, England was at 63/3, with Malan (23*) and Brook (17*).
In the 11th over, Ireland missed two great chances to strengthen their hold on the match by dropping Brook and Malan in two consecutive balls. However, Gerath Delany undid the damage caused by catching Brook for 18 off 21 balls, breaking the 38-run stand between Brook and Malan. George Dockrell got his first wicket of the match.

All-rounder Moeen Ali joined Malan at the other end and two southpaws had to guide England towards another victory. Malan, who had been holding together England’s innings till this point, was dismissed by Barry McCarthy for 35 off 37 balls after being caught by Fionn Hand. Half of the English batting lineup was back in the hut for 86/5.
Ali was joined by Liam Livingstone. Ali helped England cross the 100-run mark in 14.2 overs. Rain interrupted play at this point. England were 5 runs behind the par score of 110 as they had scored 105/5 in 14.3 overs, with Ali (24*) and Livingstone (1*). The action could not start and rain exceeded the cut-off time. As a result, Ireland won the match by five runs.
Little (2/16) was the pick of the bowlers for Ireland. McCarthy, Hand and Dockrell took one wicket each. Earlier, fiery spells by Liam Livingstone and Mark Wood helped England bundle out Ireland for 157 in Super 12s of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 in Melbourne on Wednesday.
