Canada shock Ireland for first win at a T20 World Cup

Sport

Canada shocked Ireland in a low-scoring thriller to secure their first-ever win in the men's T20 World Cup 2024 in a historic moment on Wednesday in New York. Canada successfully defended 138 in a low-scoring thriller to defeat Ireland by 12 runs and secure their first points in the T20 World Cup 2024.

Earlier, Barbadian-born Nicholas Kirton's gritty 49-run knock propelled Canada to a competitive 137 for seven at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. Kirton's aggressive 49 off 35 balls and a steady 37 from wicketkeeper Shreyas Movva off 36 deliveries marked the first time a team crossed the 100-run mark in the tournament.

The under-fire pitch, which had previously been criticized for its uneven bounce and excessive movement, played much better after curators shaved off the grass and rolled it multiple times.
