Cricket News: Ireland stun England by 7 wickets in 3rd ODI

Ireland beat England by seven wickets after a brilliant batting display from Paul Sterling who scored 142 and captain Andrew Balbirnie who slammed 113 as they overhauled England's imposing total. Bizarrely, their total of 329 was exactly the total they made when they beat England for their only other win against them, in the 2011 World Cup. There was a third Irish centurion in the match, in the shape of England captain Morgan who was off the field injured for his side's poor fielding and bowling display Moeen Ali taking over the armband. Ireland's win was all the more impressive as they had lost the first two matches in a three-game series after making low totals of 172 and 212-9. Ireland's victory, which rounded off the first ODI series since the coronavirus lockdown, also gave them 10 points in the new World Cup Super League, which will determine qualification for the 2023 50-over showpiece in India. This was Ireland's first ODI win over England in England and their first against a major nation since the 2015 World Cup.
