So a big win for Ireland on a day of cricket when 23 wickets fell and over 400 runs were scored. Canada batted in a bizarre fashion for most of it, playing lots of shots even as the wickets tumbled. Cheema's superb 97 off 45 was a bright spot for them. Ireland's bowlers will be delighted wit their efforts espeicially Albert Van der Merwe who finished the match with 8 wickets. The two sides will meet again on Monday and Tuesday for two one dayers so please join us for them. That's all from myself, Conor Hayes, thanks for following the commentary throughout the two days.
