Put into bat, Ireland recovered from 3/30, courtesy of Tucker’s half-century and a 32-ball 49 from Garenth Delany. The Irish batters shifted gears in the 16th over, amassing 46 runs in two overs.
Harshit Rana, who dismissed both the Irish openers, finished with an impressive 3/24 while Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel chipped in with two wickets each.
