Ireland inflicted England’s only loss on the way to the title with the help of a little Melbourne rain
Balbirnie, the captain, had led from the front like a true leader in the historic win with a batting contribution of 62 off 47 as Ireland set the target of 157.

Soon, it became apparent it would be nothing of the sort.
Josh Little set the tone, with England captain Jos Buttler was caught behind off his second ball. Ben Stokes was bowled out quite brilliantly by Fionn Hand. And as England’s wickets fell and Dawid Malan and Harry Brook stayed at the wicket too long with little or no impact, the ever-darkening clouds combined with the Irish bowling for an ominous foreboding for the hot favourites.Eoin Morgan reflects on a historic victory for Ireland at the T20 World Cup.
