Ireland have progressed through to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup Qualifier after a comprehensive win over Germany in a must-win tie at the Al Almerat Stadium this morning.

Ireland started their run chase knowing that if they could complete the victory in less than 16 overs they would guarantee themselves progression to the semi-final stage after Bahrain – playing in a concurrent match – posted 172-5 against UAE, setting up an exciting finish to this Group stage of the tournament.
