We finish the day here at Stormont under beautiful blue sky's. Ireland's performance today has been just as sunny. The Irish innings got off to an excellent start and all of their batsmen got in. Cusack top scored with an excellent 59 and Porterfield scored a very classy 45. Namibia will probably feel that they scored 50 runs too few. Although Ireland bowling was very controlled. In the end Ireland's experience showed over the two days and so win the series 2-0. Namibia will feel that they played a full part over the two days. The next match for Ireland will be a much tougher game against Sri Lanka next Monday in Scotland. So that just leaves me to thank you for following my commentary over the last two days. This is me, Justin Smyth saying good evening from sunny Belfast.
