Ireland secure famous win over England in T20 World Cup after rain-affected match in Melbourne | Cricket News
Ireland earned another famous World Cup win over England with a rain-affected five-run victory over Jos Buttler’s off-colour side in another absorbing T20 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Eleven years on from their three-wicket win over England at the 50-over World Cup in India, Ireland beat England in the T20 version after rain thwarted their opponents’ stuttering run chase.
Chasing 158, England were 105-5 after 14.3 overs, five runs below the DLS par score of 110, when the rain that had caused delays earlier in the game returned and did not relent in time for the match to resume.
Moeen Ali (24no off 12) got himself going with three fours and a six after England had laboured to 29-3 in the powerplay and then 86-5 in the 14th over, but weather had the final say as Ireland earned a notable victory.
More to follow.
