Ireland register massive win over Netherlands

Ireland defeated Netherlands by seven wickets in their ICC T20 Cricket World Cup match played in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates yesterday.

Ireland, with the help of some sensible batting from Paul Stirling (30 n.o) and Gareth Delany (44) were able to chase down the meagre target of 107 in 15.1 overs.

Netherland picked up Key Irish batters - Kevin O’Brian (9) and Captain Bilbirnie (8) early - inside the first 5 overs but Ireland’s another experienced batter Stirling held one end and constructed a partnership of 59 runs with Delany to take his side to victory.

Earlier, Ireland restricted Netherlands to 106 runs in 20 overs with Max ODowd scoring 51 off 47 balls with seven boundaries.
