Ireland shocked by loss to Dutch

Shell-shocked Ireland were dumped out of the ICC World Twenty20 as Holland qualified for the main stages of the competition after their daring batsmen guided them to a six-wicket win in Sylhet.

With both sides needing victory to reach the tournament proper, William Porterfield’s men posted what appeared to be a decent total after being put into bat, with Andrew Poynter’s half-century and a trademark late blast from Kevin O’Brien guiding them to 189 for four.
