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 to Wade, 2 runs, Full and wide, whacked with a horizontal bat to long-off. They push for and make two.
19.5

Adair to Wade, FOUR, Lots of innovation and reaction as Wade goes wide across on one knee, Adair did well to go with a wide full toss. Wade nonetheless steered it and got it wide of short third. Would have been no ball had he left it as it was going out the cut strip.
19.4
1lb
Adair to David, 1 leg bye, Slower back of length ball beats the hard pull, deflects off the thigh pad to short third. That gripped and stayed low, pitched outside leg. So no LBW.
19.3
4
Adair to David, FOUR, Full, but with mid-off in that's a risk. David slashes from well in the crease, drove it way over the in-field. Four.
19.2
2
Adair to David, 2 runs, Pulled to deep midwicket. In the gap for two.
19.1
4
Adair to David, FOUR, Full toss on leg, punished by whipping it. Helped along but with decent force, deep fine is too far.

Adair it will be to finish

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

Little to David, 1 run, Length outside off, pulled along the ground to long-on. Another brilliant over. Just three off.
