Australia end setting up a target of 180. Enough? Find out with Shashank in the chase.
G-Rant: "Considering Australia has a fair bit of lower order hitting power I think they should have gone harder earlier. A lost opportunity not just for winning the match but also series NRR. "
Apoorva: "Australia innings minus the two Adair overs, the win probability of Ireland would have been higher. "
Marsh, in his interview, says it's par. He says it was a slow start, got into rhythm but got out. Says Finch might have done a hammy.
7:40pm: 101 runs off the back-ten. How do you want to interpret that? Finch's struggle continued but he made up. Adair's overs were costly - 26 and 17. Should Ireland, as everyone's strongly suggesting in the comments, for Campher? We can only theorise. For Australia, Maxwell, Finch, Marsh, and David gave it their all. Dockrell and Little were brilliant in the 18th and 19th overs.
Adair it will be to finish

Shivang: "Irish have pulled back 20-25 runs atleast" Yeah, it's oscillated after that crazy Adair over.
