Ben Duckett (48) and Sam Hain (89) contributed to help their side post 334 on the board. The Irish side picked up eight wickets in total, with George Dockrell finishing with three.

Dockrell (43), Barry McCarthy (41) and Craig Young (40*) contributed but it wasn’t enough as they got knocked over on 286 in the 47th over to lose the game by 48 runs.
