Stay tuned for the presentation...
It was a complete performance from the Irish in an important game. Their bowlers led from the front and bundled Germany out for a low score. Their batters then had to knock it off in around 16 overs and have done so with ease.
Ireland have done their job then! They had to chase this down within 16 overs and have done so. They started off slowly but Andy Balbirnie and Paul Stirling stepped on the accelerator. When they were batting it seemed the game would end in the 11th over but a few wickets fell in the middle overs but still, they have managed to chase it down below the 16th over.
