Finch, “It wasn’t the easiest wicket, it was a lot slower than what we expected. They changed their pace really well and bowled a lot of cutters. we did well to get 180. T20 is a high risk game, sometimes you get it off the middle and sometimes you don’t.”
Joshua Little is run out as the hosts record a massive 42 run win over Ireland in this game. Australia will be quite happy with their performance, but could have won with a much bigger margin.
Cummins get wicket of McCarthy at a crucial stage. It is mostly importantly a dot ball. Joshua Little walks out to bat. Pressure mounting on Ireland here. They need 43 off the last 12 balls.
Tucker scores two back to back boundaries against Starc before running a double and scoring a boundary once again. 18 Runs off the over! Ireland need 44 runs off the last three overs.
Starc got nothing on tucker. What an absolute champion this guy is. #AUSvIRE #Tucker

The Irish batter gets to his 50 with a massive six against Hazlewood. He has been a lone warrior for his team here. 118-8 after 16 overs.

The Aussie spinner cleans up Fionn Hand to get his second wicket of the innings. Ireland find themselves languishing at 106 for 8 after 15 overs. Zampa ends with figures of 4-0-19-2
#cricket #T20WC2022 #AUSvIRE 105-8, meaning that Australia's NRR will not overhaul England's tonight.

Adair walks down the ground but fails to get to the pitch. Wade completes the stumping to send Adair back in the hut. 7th wicket down. Ireland are 95/7 after 13 overs.
It was not at all hard to bat on,but Irish are showing why they are minnows, extremely heedless approach from their batsman,all batsman got out playing reckless shots barring a few.. they seemed to have zero planning how to take down this total.. disappearing#T20WC2022 #AUSvIRE

Pat Cummins fails to lay his hand on the ball after calling for it. Tucker survives as Starc missed to get his third wicket of the innings.
Ireland are 73/6 at the end of 10 overs. They will be eager to stay as deep as they can in this game. Australia on the other hand will be eying to improve their NRR.
England have the advantage of playing last in Group 1 – so therefore knowing what they need to win by to get their NRR ahead of Australia – but have the disadvantage of their last two games being v NZ & SL while Aus play Ire & Afg. NRR won't matter if they lose. #T20WorldCup

Gareth Delany 14(10) is back in the hut as Glen Maxwell completes the catch. Australia are looking to end the game as soon as possible.

Ireland are 62-5 at the end of 8 overs as Australia turn to Adam Zampa. It is also worth noting that Aaron Finch is not on the field citing an injury resulting in Matthew Wade captaining the side.

Delany and Tucker take on Maxwell and score eight runs off the over. A show of some excellent batting intent from the duo. 57 runs from 7 overs.
The Irish batter scores two back to back fours against Starc off the first two balls, before the Aussie star manages to bowl a few dots. Delany to joins in the action and gets a boundary off the last ball. 49-5 after powerplay.

Tucker is looking to take on the Australian bowlers, but the hosts are too hot to handle. 10 runs come of the 5th over. Ireland are 35-5 with one over left in powerplay
A typical Starc dismissal sees Dockrell make the long walk back to the hut. Ireland are 25-5 after 4 overs!

Ireland manage to score 7 runs of the first over against Hazlewood. Cummins comes in to bowl the second over and gets the wicket of Balbirnie 6(7) Finch introduces Glen Maxwell into the attack who also works the trick, getting the big wickets of Sterling and Tector in the same over. Ireland are 24-3 after 3 overs.
Tim David and Matthew Wade manage to get 17 runs of Mark Adair’s over. Some great batting at the end propels Australia to a more than competitive total.
Well done Aussies . Even the starting line is not cleared hahaha #AusvIRE

Joshua Little gets Stoinis out as Dockrell completes the catch to send the Aussie star back in the hut. Australia are 162-5 after 19 overs.
Mark Adair take the catch as Finch 63(44) narrowly fails to clear the boundary. McCarthy gets his third wicket of the game. 17 overs gone 155-4
Australia and Aaron Finch peaked at the right time in this T20 World Cup. He looked really positive today, good signs for Australia as Finch's form was their only concern before stepping into the mega event. #AUSvIRE #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/HTxqCZRze3

The dangerous Glen Maxwell is back in the hut as he edges the ball straight back to the Irish wicket keeper! Good bowling by Joshua Little. Marcus Stoinis comes out to bat. 84-3 after 11 overs.
As much as I like Maxwell, the experiment has to stop now. Poor/non-existent performances are hurting the team. Steve Smith into that #4 position straight away.#AUSvIRE #T20WorldCup

The Ireland speedster claims the wicket of Mitch Marsh on yet another first ball of the over. Earlier, he had dismissed Warner on the first ball of his spell. Meanwhile, fans continue to compare McCarthy to Shane Watson.

Marsh and Finch have steadied the ship and scored 7 runs off Dockrell’s first over. 60-1 off 9 overs!

The Aussie All-rounder hits a massive 102-metre six over mid-wicket to Fionn Hand. Follows it up with yet another 86 meter six! 15 runs off it! 53-1 after 7 overs.
Mitch Marsh mishits the ball and still sends the ball 102m away. Easily the most powerful striker of the cricket ball atm. #AUSvIRE
