That's it from here, until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Soumarya signing off.

Ireland XI beat Turkiye by 10 wickets
Ireland registered a thumping win without breaking any sweat. Well, the result is predicted at the start of the contest and we weren't in for any real surprises out here. The Irish bowlers did the damage with their collective effort and restricted tthe opposition to a meager total and in reply, the chase became a walk in the park for the batters
Melly and Doherty went all guns blazing. You have to feel sad for the Turkey bowlers as their batters didn't give enough runs on the board to have a bowl at this destructive batting order. Anyway, Ireland are too strong to all the oppositions in this group and that's evident from their first two matches
