Sri Lanka A win the first game of the series by 28 runs. Sri Lanka set a stiff target with Udawatte top scoring with an excellent 88. Even though Stuart Poynter scored an excellent century. Sri Lanka's bowling blew away Ireland's middle order and it took some good lower order batting to get Ireland close.
Its been a great game of cricket today under blue skies here at Stormont. The next game of the series is here on Friday starting at 10.45. Hopefully the weather will be as sunny then. I hope that you enjoyed todays game and hopefully you will join us then. Its goodnight from me.
