T20 World Cup: Canada Prevail Over Ireland By 12 Runs In Last-over Thriller

Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: A day after the United States stunned Pakistan, their neighbours Canada caused an upset in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, beating another full-member Ireland at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium here on Friday. Canada held their nerve with the ball as the Group fixture came down to the final over, beating Ireland to record their first-ever ICC T20 World Cup win.

Propped up by a 75-run stand for the fifth wicket between Nicholas Kirton and Shreyas Movva, Canada posted a modest 137-7 and then came up with disciplined bowling to beat Ireland by 12 runs in a low-scoring match, recovering from their defeat to the United States on the opening night on June 1 in Dallas. Ireland too had lost their opening match, going down to India in New York.

Canada's men’s cricket team only had one previous win over a full-member nation to their name (against Ireland in 2019), but were the better team in all three disciplines as they produced another shock result in a group that has thrown up plenty of drama already at this tournament. Coming a day after their southern neighbours USA had stunned Pakistan, Canada rode on the brilliant partnership between Kirton and Movva to post the highest score on this ground in three tournament matches.
