Ireland's Lorcan Tucker plays a shot during his innings against Oman at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo, Sri Lanka. A record-breaking day saw the highest Irish T20 score of 235 (also the second highest in this competition’s history). It was always going to be too much for an imploding Oman outfit, as Ireland secured a badly needed first win of this T20 World Cup campaign. In his first World Cup game as captain, standing in for the injured Paul Stirling, Lorcan Tucker equalled his T20 international best score of 94. Twelve overs of spin cost 96 runs, eight overs of seam went for 138, including all of Dockrell’s late salvo.
