I really like the way they tried to chase this big score of 334 runs and were short only by 48 runs. Being the underdog team, this batting performance was too good for me. Although none of the players scored a 50 in this match from Ireland but the good thing is that everyone contributed to reach close to 300 runs. Players who came down the innings like George Dockrell , Barry McCarthy and Craig Young , all contributed good 40+ runs and helped their team reach close to the target given by the England team.

Remember the first ODI was abandoned by rain, this one England won. I hope to see another thrilling ODI between the two teams on 26 September at Bristol.
