Ireland currently playing Bangladesh. A shock win would see us in Super 8's. We won the toss and are fielding. Bangladesh currently 50 for 2 after 7 overs.
Going well, Bangladesh 65 for 4 after 10 overs. Superb bowling spell from Trent Johnston 3 wickets for 20 runs in his 4 over spell.
Bangladesh scored 137 for 8 from their 20 overs. Good fielding effort by Ireland, all 5 bowlers got wickets which is great when the max you can bowl is 4 overs. Bangladesh scored 20 off the last over but it's still not a bad target to aim for at about 7 an over. Fingers crossed the batters can take us home.
4 from 11 balls for Ireland to win!!! Come on Ireland... Great way to finish at the end. To win by 6 wickets, bring on India. Into the Super Eights!!!
Im a right cynical **** when it comes to this sport but i must admit i was channel hopping earlier and stumbled across this and watched it to the end,great win to stuff the bangladeshys.Cant wait for weds action when we take on the Indians.
Angelo Mathews playing for Sri Lanka against the West Indies prevents a six being scored by some very acrobatic fielding. This guy has goalkeeper potential!

Ireland have a good chance in their match against Sri Lanka after restricting the Sri Lankans to 144-9.
Sri Lanka won by 9 runs. It was a close enough match and could have gone either way. It would have been a big upset. There must have been a few Liverpool fans at Lords. I could clearly hear 'We're going to bounce in a minute & Fernando Torres No9 as well as Campione'
