Australia v Ireland

Australia won by 7 wickets (with 29 balls remaining)

T20I no. 264 | 2012/13 season
Played at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo (neutral venue)
19 September 2012 - day/night (20-over match)


Ireland innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
WTS Porterfield*	c Starc b Watson	0	2	1	0	0	0.00
0.1 80.4 mph, gone! First ball. Perfect start for Australia. Was dropped in short, Porterfield responded with a hook, gets a top edge and it is comfortably taken by long leg 0/1
PR Stirling	c Watson b Starc	7	17	12	1	0	58.33
3.3 84.3 mph, another catch in the deep, this time at third man. Was a hint of width outside off, Stirling through his hands through a drive and it skewed high down towards Watson who ran around the boundary and held an excellent catch 15/2
EC Joyce	c Warner b Maxwell	16	25	18	3	0	88.88
5.5 58.1 mph, very soft...tossed up on off stump, Joyce tries to go over the top but can only lob his drive straight to mid-off who was inside the circle 25/3
NJ O'Brien	b Watson	20	47	24	2	0	83.33
14.3 72.0 mph, that's the end of that. A full ball, perhaps a slower delivery, Niall aims to swing it through the leg side in the slog-sweep position and misses 85/5
GC Wilson†	lbw b Hogg	5	8	5	1	0	100.00
7.2 55.1 mph, gone! Another departs. Hogg strikes second ball. It looked pretty good, full on the stumps, straightened a fraction and Wilson was trying to play to leg. 33/4
KJ O'Brien	c †Wade b Watson	35	31	29	5	0	120.68
14.6 79.9 mph, big wicket! Excellent over from Watson. A short ball, Kevin tried to upper-cut it down to third man and was a little half-hearted in the short which led to an edge to Wade. 86/6
AR Cusack	not out	15	24	14	1	0	107.14

DT Johnston	b Starc	7	8	7	1	0	100.00
17.1 83.5 mph, on target! Perfect yorker from round the wicket, right at the bottom of off stump and hits the target as Johnston tried to give himself room 101/7
NG Jones	not out	14	12	10	0	1	140.00

Extras	(lb 3, w 1)	4

Total	(7 wickets; 20 overs; 88 mins)	123	(6.15 runs per over)

DA Warner	c KJ O'Brien b Dockrell	26	33	23	4	0	113.04

SR Watson	run out (Johnston)	51	45	30	5	3	170.00
10.1 from KJ O'Brien, on off stump, opens the face to short third-man who makes a direct hit and Watson is caught short by Johnston's throw. That was a bit lazy from him 91/2
MEK Hussey	lbw b KJ O'Brien	10	16	11	0	0	90.90
10.6 72.9 mph, gone! The umpire decides that was pad first. Shaped back late into Hussey who was pushing forward and got caught in front of middle and off 95/3
