What is more proud of Ireland?

It started with a loss to Zimbabwe. When Ireland faced Scotland in their next match, they were on the verge of relegation. Chasing 177 runs, the Scottish lost 61 runs in 9.3 overs for 4 wickets. Curtis Kampfer's incredible batting saw Ireland beat Scotland with an over to spare that day.

However, the Irish could not be too optimistic about the Super Twelve. West Indies have the worst memory of exiting the first round of the T20 World Cup in the last five editions.

But in Hobart today, Ireland came down with the bet of leaving everything behind. The bowlers bowled out West Indies for 146, chasing a massive 9-wicket victory with 15 balls to spare. The victory that brought the ticket to play in the Super Twelve of the T20 World Cup ended an era.

I lost the first match,' Ireland captain Andy Balburnie could not find the words to express his joy. After turning around and winning the next match, this time in a "life-or-death" match against the two-time world champions, "what could be more proud than that! "

The Irish captain was very happy after the first round of the T20 World Cup after the drought of an era. "This victory means a lot to us. Last season was a disappointment. Many things have changed since then. I want to play as a team. This win is also emotional for us. We are overwhelmed as a team. It's a proud day for us as Irish. "

Balbarni feels that his team is on the way to more success as the Super Twelve drought is over. "Once you get to the Super Twelve, anything is possible. Maybe we can play three more matches on this field.
