While there were a number of key contributors to the visiting side’s victory, Andy McBrine’s and Harry Tector’s contributions stood out at a cricket ground that has produced many happy memories for Irish fans over the years.
McBrine bowled beautifully – he was controlled, economical, and crucially claimed four wickets, then came out with the bat and made a well-crafted 35, which helped propel Ireland to the win.

Meanwhile, Tector continued his stunning run of form in the 50-over format hitting his sixth ODI half-century in his last nine innings. His 54* was near faultless, showing an array of shots around the ground, as well as a number of sublimely-timed drives through the off-side.
