Porterfield upbeat despite defeat

IRELAND captain William Porterfield has targeted a famous victory over New Zealand later today despite watching his side slip to an eight-wicket defeat against reigning World Twenty20 champions India at Trent Bridge.

The sides were contesting the final Group A fixture before both move on the next stage and the Irish were outclassed from the off as Zaheer Khan ripped through their top order with four for 19.

They eventually struggled to a respectable 112 for eight in their 18 overs but India cruised home with 2.3 overs to spare as Rohit Sharma clubbed 52.
