Ireland XI beat Portugal by 6 wickets Seamus Lynch 58(17) | Conrad Greenshields 20(26) Carson McCullough 2-21(2) | Rana Sarwar 1-7(1)
When you have a power-hitter like Seamus Lynch in your lineup, then any target on this track will be easy-peasy. He smoked the bowlers all around the park inside the powerplay and raced to a half-century in just 14 deliveries.
The Portugal bowlers responded with a few wickets but only after all the damage is done by Lynch. It wasn't the best performance from Portugal as they were outplayed in all departments of the game by the strong Irish outfit.
We have one match to go before we wrap up proceedings for the day. Do join us for the battle between Austria and the Czech Republic in a couple of minutes time.
