The Aussies registered a comfortable 42-run win over Ireland in a crucial T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12s clash in Brisbane on Monday, October 31, to keep their semi-finals hopes alive. A victory-margin of 74 runs would’ve helped them surpass England’s net run-rate, with the 2010 champions currently placed third having played a game less. Ireland had a fine start with the ball after skipper Andrew Balbirnie won the toss, as Barry McCarthy dismissed David Warner in just the second over. The right-arm quick dismissed Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell later in his spell, while Aaron Finch held his end strong with a gritty fifty. https://twitter.com/ESPNcricinfo/status/1587031375785377844 Marcus Stoinis provided fine support with a 25-ball…

Netherlands international Paul van Meekeren has asked for the major cricketing countries to tour the Netherlands ahead of their future tours to England in order to provide more opportunities for the Associate nation in international cricket.
