Commentary

That is it from the contest here. This is Sourabh and Bidipto signing off. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Ireland won by 6 wickets

Andrew Balbirnie 56(46) | Craig Young 3/31(4)
Matthew Cross 35(30) | Chris Sole 3/28(4)

Ireland get home with three deliveries to spare but not without some late drama as they go to the top of the table in this tri-series with just the one match to go in it.

It was much more clinical than what the scoreboard suggests. Ireland were in cruise control throughout the run chase and got the better of their traditional rivals. Openers Balbirnie and Stirling got them off to an ideal start as both the experienced campaigners went about their business without any fuss getting to the 50-run mark within the powerplay.

Stirling was dismissed on a well-made 32 by Greaves in the 8th over and one that it might be an opening for Scotland but Tucker walked in and looked all in control despite getting some streaky runs. Balbirnie continued his work and got to a lovely half-century but was dismissed in the 16th over. Tucker held it from one end towards the end despite a wobble as Sole got two wickets in two balls in the 18th over. There was a spectacular run-out which caught Tucker short of his crease in the last over but then it wasn't simply enough for Scotland.

Scotland gave it their all but the batting from Ireland was much more clinical and professional. The runs on the board were simply not enough to stop Ireland but a great effort from the Scottish in the field not giving up till the end.

19.3 Safyaan Sharif to Gareth Delany, IRELAND FINALLY GET THE WIN AND GO TWO POINTS CLEAR IN THE SERIES! Good length ball on off-and-middle. Knocked on the up to wide mid-on. The batters went through for the single, Delany stretched to get in his crease at the striker's end but the direct hit went missing! So, the single was complete without any further drama!

Gareth Delany, RHB, comes to the crease.

A spectacular direct hit from the sub-fielder keeps the game alive, Tucker goes but he has done the job for his team.

19.2 Safyaan Sharif to George Dockrell, RUN OUT! TUCKER GOES! Back of a length on the legs. Turned around to short fine-leg off the hip. They ran instantly and thought they would make it. But the direct hit then ended his chance as he was found short of the crease by inches at the striker's end!

Lorcan Tucker run out Jarvis (sub) 55 (38b, 5x4, 0x6).

19.1 Safyaan Sharif to George Dockrell, over the wicket, back of a length on off-stump. Bunted back to the bowler by backing away, no run.

18.6 Bradley Currie to George Dockrell, full on the pads. Dockrell makes a bit of room and taps it down to long-on for a single. Scores are level.

18.5 Bradley Currie to Lorcan Tucker, good length ball around off-stump. Punched down to deep cover point off the back foot for a single to rotate strike.

18.4 Bradley Currie to Lorcan Tucker, FOUR RUNS! Length ball on off-stump. Flicked away off the middle of the bat from the crease to the right of wide long-on for a boundary!

18.3 Bradley Currie to Lorcan Tucker, really full around off-stump. Tucker tried to use the pace and squirt it away down to third man but failed to connect.

150 comes up as well

18.2 Bradley Currie to Lorcan Tucker, back of a length on middle-stump. Tucker backs away a bit but still manages to glance it away to fine-leg for a couple more runs! He brings up 50!

18.1 Bradley Currie to Lorcan Tucker, over the wicket, good length ball on off-stump. Easily tucked to the deep square-leg area on the up for a couple of well-judged runs!

Crucial over coming up

Scotland have not given up and they are giving it their all. Sole got the ball to tail in to the right-handers and nipped out two crucial wickets for them to give some jitters to the Ireland team. 11 needed off 12
