Ireland shock England in T20 World Cup

  Ireland and rain had a major impact on the T20 World Cup on Wednesday as England suffered a shock defeat and New Zealand were denied the chance to take advantage when their match with Afghanistan was washed out.  Captain Andy Balbirnie led the way for Ireland with 62 from 47 balls at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) to give England a 158-run target. But England’s much-vaunted batting line-up struggled to get going in the face of some disciplined Ireland, swing bowling and were reduced to 29-3 off the first five overs.  A late Moeen Ali boundary flurry (24 off 12 balls) took England to 105-5 off 14.3 overs when the rain ended play. England were five runs behind on the DLS scoring method, handing Ireland a famous victory.  “It’s amazing, kind of emotional,” said man-of-the-match Balbirnie. “Our message was to just create chances and we know how this England team like to play, if we take every chance then we would be in with a shot. “This will do a lot to grow the game back home.”
