BRISBANE:
Ireland defeat United Arab Emirates (UAE) by 2 wickets at the ICC Cricket World Cup Game 16 on Wednesday (today) at Brisbane Cricket Ground (Woolloongabba), Brisbane.
The match kept swinging in both teams’ favour but the 9th wicket pair of George Dockrell and Alex Cuscack Cusack got them home with four balls to spare.
A win by two wickets with four balls remaining, UAE were left handicapped by Guruge’s injury.
Gary Wilson has been named ‘Man of the match’ for his match-winning 80.
“I’ve batted a lot with Kev, both at the county and the international level, and we dovetailed well together. We want four wins, all we can do is take each game as it comes,”he said.
