Match number of 20 of the T20 World Cup 2022 edition in a shocking defeat for the England team against their one of their neighbouring country Ireland.
While batting first after losing the toss, Ireland managed to do quite well with the bat, adding a total of 157 runs before they were dismissed. Chasing the target, England suffered severely.
The English team lost their first 3 wickets in the powerplay itself. They did make a comeback however, Dawid Malan was dismissed at a crucial point of the match.
But before we go for the result of the match, it was suspended due to rain and never resumed. And meanwhile, England had to bat conservatively after losing 3 early wickets, as such, they lost to Ireland by 5 runs via DLS method.
Following that, there were mixed reaction from the cricket fans and some even praised Ireland for their performance and who strong they have been against England in the World Cup events especially.
Congratulations @cricketireland on a massive victory. Hope England doesn’t say winning through DLS isn’t in the spirit of the game. 😄 #EngvsIRE pic.twitter.com/0S4L5f1ZTi
