Curtis Campher
Commentry
That is it from this game! Cricketing action continues Wednesday as the Windies will be taking on Oman. That game will begin at 1230 IST (0700 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
Curtis Campher has been given the PLAYER OF THE MATCH AWARD!
Nepal fought well but the Irish were too strong for them! First they made a good comeback with the bat thanks to Gulsan Jha who helped them get to almost 270. With the ball, they began well but the fielding and the spinners just were not at their best. They leaked far too many runs in the middle overs and that cost them the game. They were outplayed by a better side.
A very well calculated chase by Ireland! They were in trouble earlier on when they lost three, could have been in more trouble had Harry Tector not been dropped but since then, they batted quite smartly to get over the line. Harry Tector scored a good half ton to get his side back on track. He though along with Lorcan Tucker fell in quick succession. Curtis Campher and George Dockrell though took their side into a very good position. Both fell but Gareth Delany ensured his side got the win.

OUT! TAKEN! Mark Adair has thrown his wicket away. He looked for glory, tried to finish it with a biggie. This is shorter and outside off, it is cut towards deep point. Gulsan Jha makes no mistake. Still 5 needed in 7.

FOUR! Off the outside edge! Outside off, shorter. Mark Adair looks to cut, it goes off the outside edge and down to the third man fence. probably not the right move to give it to Dipendra Singh Airee!
