A new-look Ireland side put in a confident performance in cruising to a four-wicket win over Scotland in the T20I tri-series at Malahide Cricket Club on Tuesday, 17 September.
Scottish captain Kyle Coetzer won the toss and chose to bat first under sunny skies. Ireland had two debutants, 19-year-old batter Harry Tector and 21-year-old fast-bowler David Delany, who received their caps from Alan Lewis, the former Irish international captain, and Andrew Poynter, the former Irish international, respectively.
Coetzer and George Munsey would've hoped to continue in the vein of form that saw them post a 200-run stand against the Netherlands in the previous game, but it wasn't to be. It was Coetzer who fell first, clean bowled by Boyd Rankin for 10. Rankin claimed 3/29 from his four overs, and led the attack with a display of line and length that the Scots found difficult to get away.
Leg-spinner Gareth Delany acquitted himself well despite the Scottish batsmen looking to score quickly, and finished with 2/31, including a diving caught and bowled dismissal later on.
Calum MacLeod top scored for the visitors with a rapid 72 from 42 balls but on a ground that saw Scotland post 252 yesterday, their total of 193/7 always looked achievable.
