Scots can’t stop Joyce as Ireland march on

Ireland kept their ICC World Twenty20 qualifying campaign on track at the expense of Scotland, with a 17-run victory in Dubai.

Ireland have now won four in a row since their opening day defeat to Namibia, while Scotland look likely to be edged out following their second loss.

Ed Joyce was the Irish match-winner, scoring 78 in 58 balls in a total of 159 for five.
