Canada produced an all-round effort to stun Ireland by 12 runs in a T20 World Cup match in New York on Friday. After posting a competitive total of 137 for seven batting first on a difficult pitch, Canada bowlers produced a unified effort to restrict Ireland to 125 for 7 in 20 overs. While Canada earned two crucial points to move third position in the points table in Group A, Ireland dropped below Pakistan to the fifth and last spot with second defeat on the trot. For Ireland, George Dockrell (30 not out) and Mark Adair (34) staged a late fight-back with a 62-run stand for the seventh wicket but their effort went in vain. Brief scores: Canada: 137/7 in 20 overs (Nicholas Kirton 49, Shreyas Movva 37; Craig Young 2/32, Barry McCarthy 2/24) beat Ireland 125/7 in 20 overs (George Dockrell 30 not out, Mark Adair 34; Jeremy Gordon 2/16, Dilon Heyliger 2/18) by 12 runs.

Right then, we have now seen three T20 World Cup debutants win a game and the last two wins have been truly remarkable. Such is this format that the minnows have a real chance of beating the big guns and it makes for such an entertaining and exciting watch. Next up, we have a couple of teams who will be playing their first games of the tournament. First up, it will be New Zealand getting their campaign underway against Afghanistan in Guyana. That clash will begin on Saturday, 8 June at 5 am IST (11.30 pm GMT). Also, Bangladesh will play their fist match against Sri Lanka in Dallas beginning at 6 am IST (12.30 am GMT). You can join us early for the build-up of both those games but until then, take care and goodbye.

Having opted to bowl first, Paul Stirlingand his men seemed to be in control as they suffocated the Canadian batters in the first 10 overs but didn't biowl particularly well. This eventually cost them as it allowed Canada to post a defendable total. Still, 138 to win and one would back Ireland to chase it down but their openers once again failed to give them a positive start. Andy Balbirnielooked decent but Stirling was just not in the game at all and soon enough, the top order crumbled. They were down 59 for 6 at one point before George Dockrelland Mark Adairled the fightback. It was always a bridge too far and in the end, they ended up a few runs short and have now gone on to lose back-to-back games.
23:34 (IST) Jun 07
Defending 137 runs on a pitch that wasn't the easiest to bat on, Canadastarted brightly with the ball as they managed to stop Paul Stirlingfrom getting away and eventually, that brought them his wicket as well. tThey were miserly in the Powerplay and then their spinners ruled the roost in the middle overs. Skipper, Saad Bin Zafarand especially Junaid Siddiquibowled really well and picked up a wicket each to pile on the pressure. Dilon Heyligertoo bowled a lovely spell in the middle overs and picked up two wickets and the pacers closed things out pretty nicely when things got a bit tight towards the end. They will now look to build on this and go into their next match against Pakistan full of confidence.
