Was anyone else such a keeno that they were looking at accommodation yesterday in Canberra for September 2027 for @wallabies.bsky.social vs @irishrugby.bsky.social game? #AUSvIRE sadly I couldn't book anything...yet

Player of the Match: Nathan Ellis

Ireland might be disappointed by falling so far short against Australia but as soon as Stirling found himself unfit and early wickets clattered it was never going to happen. Australia find a way to win as they always seem to and will be there at the business end #T20WC #AUSvIRE
Call to prayer resounds as this match winds up under a gorgeous sunset on the west coast of Sri Lanka.
Australia wins by 67 runs.

Zampa bamboozles Dockrell and gets him stumped so far down the wicket it looked more like a run-out.
And another one falls as well!
I can't keep up so I'm calling it. It's over.
#T20WC
#AUSvIRE
I missed a wicket!
Oh well, none of you really care, do you?
Ireland are 6/90 (24), effectively 7'fer as we've just heard Stirling is unlikely to return, and in more shit than Batman.

This stadium is named after the former president of Sri Lanka, Ranasinghe Premadasa. I was disappointed to learn that he had never been a milliner. If he had, he could have had a sign above his shop that read: "R. PreMADASA, HATTER"

That's 10 overs and Ireland are 5/66.
They require a further 117 runs in the second half.
We still haven't heard anything on the condition of Paul Stirling. Will he make a last minute comeback?
#T20WC
#AUSvIRE
How are Ireland cocking this up. This Australia side is pretty average #AUSVIRE
Zampa holds one back and gets Delany c Inglis for 11 (12).
Ireland 5/43 after 7 overs.
They require 140 runs from 78 balls.

#T20WorldCup #AUSvIRE oh good, my precious cricket babies not getting embarrassed by my peoples 😄
Ellis bowls Calitz 2(4) with the first ball of his 2nd over. He now has 3/5 off 1.1 overs!
Ire 4/27 (4.1)
#T20WC
#AUSvIRE
One ball, one wicket!
Ellis gets Adair, bowled middle stump for 12 (9).
Earlier Tector c Cameron b Kuhneman.
Ireland 2/13.
#T20WC
#AUSvIRE
Back of the hand slower delivery first ball? I reckon Ellis just did that for Adair.

Stirling has done a fetlock on the first run of the innings!
And he's headed off.
Stirling retd hurt 1
Ireland 0/1.

#AUSvIRE
Dayum!
That South Africa Vs Afghanistan* match looks like it was a real humdinger.
Went to 2 super overs before the Saffers won it.
* Yes, I know, they shouldn't be here.
#T20WC
#AUSvIRE
Australia set Ireland 183 to win which will be tough but not impossible given their bowling is more bits and pieces than the #Ashes winning attack. Ireland have won games like this before, and you can be sure that if they do, they'll never let you forget it! #T20WC #AUSvIRE
Australia finish with 6/182 after their 20 overs.
Innings break.
Feed cats, take meds, top up drink.
#T20WC
#AUSvIRE
Top of off? No, top of middle.
That was a great delivery from Humphreys for his first wicket.
And the cricket is gorn! Why is the cricket gorn?

Discussion about away strips on BBC TMS as both Ireland & Australia playing in green; laughing at the mild horror in Nathan Johns’ voice at the idea of Ireland’s away kit being orange 🤭 #T20WC #AUSvIRE 🇦🇺🇮🇪🏏
Oh my word!
Maxie bottom/inside edges one with a hefty swipe but is smartly caught behind by keeper Tucker off Tector for 9 (9).
Australia now 4/90 at the half-way mark.
#T20WC
#AUSvIRE
Watching the replays, that really was quite a good catch by Stirling, who is built to hang in the air exactly the same way a brick doesn't.

Meanwhile in Colombo, Australia are playing their first match against legendary giant killers Ireland and are without captain Mitch Marsh who has suffered 'internal testicular bleeding' after a training injury. Don't ask 😱. Aus had 2 big defeats in warm ups so could be a shocker! #T20WC #AUSvIRE
