CAN vs IRE Highlights, T20 World Cup 2024: Canada Win By 12 Runs, Clinch 1st Win | Cricket News

Canada vs Ireland Highlights, T20 World Cup 2024: Canada shocked Ireland by 12 runs to record their first-ever win in T20 World Cup on Friday. Ireland could not chase down a 138-run target and managed just 125/7 in 20 overs. Earlier, the under-fire pitch at Nassau County played much better but Canada couldn’t capitalise until Barbadian-born Nicholas Kirton threw caution to the wind and lifted his team to a fighting 137 for seven in their T20 World Cup match here on Friday. Kirton blazed away to a 35-ball 49 and wicketkeeper Shreyas Movva chipped in with 37 in 36 deliveries as the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium saw 100 being crossed for the first time in the tournament. (Scorecard | Points Table)
