Ireland cruelly denied chance to advance in T20 World Cup

Ireland disappointingly went out of the T20 Cricket World Cup in Sri Lanka at the hands of the West Indies who didn’t even have to bat as the game at the Royal Premedasa Stadium in Colombo was abandoned at the end of Ireland’s innings due to heavy and persistent rain.

As the West Indies didn’t get the chance to reply to Ireland’s 129 for 6, the game was declared a no result and both teams got a point a piece.

The West Indies had a superior net run rate than Ireland after their defeat to Australia, and as a result, they progress to the Super 8’s and Ireland have to pack their bags today.
