Milestone
That's the end of our coverage for this T20I series. The trophy is shared and the focus will now shift towards the upcoming ODI series, starting from Dec 26. Till then, it's a bbye from me, Anurag Dasgupta and my co-commentator, Arjun Bhalla.
Andrew Balbirnie: "Kind of needed that fighting spirit after what happened in the previous game. It was brilliant to see people stand up and take responsibility. Curtis Campher has this knack of doing things. He had a great all round game. It has been a hard-fought series and we'll look to do well in the ODI's as well."
Monank Patel: "Yeah, I felt 150 was a par score. The way we batted in the power-play was a bit disappointing. We should have taken more risk inside the first 6 overs. The plan was to back the youngster and give them chances in the series."
Lorcan Tucker: "I think playing at the top helped me. This opportunity has surely helped me take my game up. Ali Khan is a world-class bowler, I took my chances against him and it paid off well for me. USA never took the game lightly and worked hard to get the important wickets."
Lorcan Tucker also bags the Player of the Series for his back-to-back fifties.
Player of the Game goes to Lorcan Tucker for his career-best T20I knock of 84 off 56 runs.
Time to post-match presentation.
That's it, the match is done and dusted and Ireland have roared back strongly to level the 2-match T20I series. They were toothless in the opening contest, but brought their A game against a confident USA side to win this game by 9 runs. Handshakes all around and it has been a competitive series between two energetic sides.
It was a topsy-turvy match and we witnessed a great see-saw battle. USA did well to restrict the visitors to just 150 on the board. The wicket was a belter and this should have been an easy chase for the home side. However, Ireland bowled their hearts out and made sure that USA were well short of the target. USA were never really in the chase as they lost wickets at regular intervals and were pushed on the back-foot. Ireland bowled at tight line and lengths and this made things difficult for the home team.
No one really got going and it derailed their chase. Modani was the lone warrior as he bludgeoned his way to a quick-fire 27, but once he was dismissed, USA's hopes were dashed away and they just couldn't cross the winning line.
