— Ireland pulled off a stunning six-wicket upset of Scotland at the ICC Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup yesterday, with George Dockrell and Curtis Campher starring in a 119-run partnership after they looked out for the count. It was their first win of the tournament after crashing to Zimbabwe on Monday and leaves Group B wide open after the West Indies beat Zimbabwe by 31 runs in the other Group B match yesterday. “Pretty special, I can’t remember a more important partnership,” said Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie after their highest-ever successful run chase at a World Cup. But the momentum shifted with Dockrell and Campher at the crease as they began swinging the bat, hitting 18 off one Mark Watt over. It was the highest score at the tournament and the best ever by a Scot at a T20 World Cup.
