ICC World Cup 2022 – Ireland vs England Full Highlights
After rain fell in the 15th over of England’s innings, Ireland won by five runs using the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. The match against Australia on Friday, also in Melbourne and with a similar weather forecast, becomes a virtual elimination game, with neither side able to afford defeat.
An exciting achieving between Ireland and England. It’s not the first time Ireland has overshadowed an English team. With a little rain, Ireland was 5 runs ahead of the DLS par score after 14.3 overs. At the Melbourne Cricket Ground, there was a massive upset.
Earlier, Mark Wood (3/34), Liam Livingstone (3/17), and Sam Curran (2/31) all contributed to England limiting Ireland to 157 runs. Ireland appeared to be in command at one point. Andy Balbirnie (62) and Lorcan Tucker (34) put on an 82-run stand for the second wicket, but once Tector was out, Ireland’s innings went downhill. To win the match, England will need 158 runs.
Rain hampered England and Ireland’s Super 12 clash in the ongoing T20 World Cup, as the latter won by 5 runs thanks to the DLS method.

Andrew Balbirnie scored 62 runs for Ireland, helping his team to a good score. Later, England faced a series of wicket falls at regular intervals while chasing 158 runs. Fionn Hand bowled Ben Stokes after Joshua Little had dismissed Jos Buttler and Alex Hales. Dawid Malan and Harry Brooks were also ejected from the game. England were at 105/5 in 14.3 overs when the rain stopped play, and Ireland won by 5 runs using the DLS method.
