Ireland claimed the final place in England’s T20 World Cup group after qualifying for the Super 12 stage with a fine win over two-time champions the West Indies. After winning the toss and deciding to bat, Brandon King scored 62 not out as West Indies posted 146 for five. While Ireland go on to the main Super 12s stage, the 2012 and 2016 winners are left with an ignominious first-round exit. Ireland’s spinners helped restrict the West Indies attack, with Gareth Delany taking three for 16 and Sami Singh one for 11 from his two overs. Lorcan Tucker continued to support Stirling, making 45 not out as he hit the winning runs to seal a memorable victory.
