CWC15 LIVE - Both Pak And Ire Jostling For Upper Hand After 20 Overs

#Pakistan vs #Ireland
15th Mar 2015

Both teams are into a no-holds-barred contest trying to get on top of the other in a do-or-die contest at the picturesque #AdelaideOval to decide 3rd and 4th positions in Pool B.

Just when one team looks to get on top, the other one strikes.

Pakistan started confidently with #EhsanAdil trapped dangerous #PaulStirling leg before but a partnership between #EdJoyce and #WilliamPorterfield pulled it back for Ireland. Then against run of play #WahabRiaz got Joyce to top edge a pull and Pak back in it.

#NiallObrien then joined Porterfield to steady the ship once again with a 30 run partnership and were beginning to steady their sights on a big one. Then again, #RahatAli produced a short one that Obrien push to short midwicket. Game on even keel yet again.

Looks like it is going to be a game like that all through.
Its just a knockout game now. Unless its a tie or abandonment, West Indies seems to have qualified for the next stage.

Its all to play for here in Adelaide though

CWC 2015 LIVE - Quick Wickets Dent Ireland Charge v India

#Ireland v #India

After a promising start and steady middle innings, Ireland hoped to pile on in the late stages of the match. 

#NiallOBrien and #PaulBalbirnie had opened up well in that #batting #powerplay and poised for a launch.

It was #RaviAshwin yet again who got India a much needed breakthrough inducing a top edge off Balbirnie down to #fineleg.

From then on, it was like a procession of wickets.
Perhaps Ireland didn't have a plan to approach the last 10 overs.
As a result, they are struggling to push it on and very low firepower left. 

#LIVE #Score
Ireland - 243 for 9 in 46 overs
Ashwin - 2 wickets
Shami - 2 wickets

CWC 2015 LIVE - Ireland Push For A Big Score v India

#Ireland v #India, #Hamilton

Trying to emulate Bangladesh to enter the quarterfinals in #CWC15, #Ireland are making a great effort to challenge India at #SeddonPark

Ireland won the toss, elected to bat and hurtling towards a big score.
Their openers #WilliamPorterfield and #PaulStirling started in aggressive fashion scoring 89 in the first 15 overs (the best start by any team against India in this world cup so far)

Introduction of spin put brakes on their scoring.
#RavichandranAshwin spun a web around their batsmen amd scalped wickets too.

#NiallOBrien has steadied the innings with a superb fifty and looking the most dangerous of Irish batsmen to pile on a score.

India's seamers were slightly off color today but they are playing their first game in New Zealand.
