Highlights, India vs Ireland, ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2022: India qualify for Super League phase with big win

01:31 (IST)

That's about it from us tonight. India were missing Yash Dhull and few other players due to COVID-19, but under Nishant Sindhu, they fought hard to register a mammoth win over Ireland to advance to the Super League quarter-finals. The Boys in Blue will next face Uganda in their final group game on Saturday. Until then, it's goodbye and good night! 

01:28 (IST)

Nishant Sindhu, India captain: I'm really happy with the win. It was great to see everyone sticking to their roles and plans. We had to focus early, had to keep those things (COVID19 cases in the camp) out of the mind and the boys responded well.

01:27 (IST)

Tim Tector, Ireland captain: Have to give credit to India. They came out with the bat and put pressure on us straightaway. We didn't bowl particularly well although we did pull things back well later on. We were happy to restrict them to 307, because it was a good surface. Was always going to be a challenge for us. Losing early wickets put us on the back foot. Maybe we could have been more proactive.

After 30 overs, Ireland 102/6 (MacBeth 22, McGuire 13) 

Vicky Ostwal continues. MacBeth with an exquisite shot towards deep midwicket for a maximum. He follows it up with a four just a couple of balls later. That would certainly bring some cheer on Ireland fans. 10 runs from the over. Ireland bring up their 100.
