So, that is it from this game. Ireland have qualified for sure. Who will be the ones to join them from this group? It is going to be one of Bahrain or UAE and the two are battling it out. We have two semi-final games coming up on 22nd February 2022. Both the games will begin at 3:30 pm IST (10:00 am GMT). Do join us early for the buildup! We bid adieu for now. Goodbye and take care!
Josh Little is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says that he did not start the tournament well, but he is happy to perform today. Mentions that the wicket was assisting the bowlers and he is happy he could chip in. States that hopefully they can come out with a better performance in their upcoming games.
Andy Balbirnie the skipper of Ireland, says that they are really happy with the win, and the bowlers did well today. Mentions that it was a complete team performance this time. States that all the bowlers were very good, happy with the way they bowled today. Concludes, that they are just happy to win and looking forward to the next game.
Venkatraman Ganesan the skipper of Germany, says that toss was crucial, and the wicket was tacky, and they did not start well, they should have posted at least 130. Mentions that Ireland came out all guns firing, and unfortunately, they were on the receiving end. States that Faisal Mubashir played an excellent knock. Concludes by saying that they did pick up 3 wickets which was good and now they have to put their best foot forward in the remaining games.
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.
