Commentary

That's a wrap up on this game and the series as a whole. Ireland wins the series 2-1 and will be the happier side at this stage. Both teams will now square off in the ODIS coming next week. Do join us for that and for all other fixtures around the globe, stay tuned to our network.

For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Deepak Prakash alongside scorers/analysts Raju Khariya and Yogesh Kumar. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!

Paul Stirling collects the trophy and then goes to his team mates as they pose for the photographs. It's time for them to celebrate on a Sunday afternoon/evening.

Paul Stirling (Ireland Captain): "Yes, I think we have got batters to get over the line. Delighted to get over the line. We lost the first game and then came back to win the next two games. We adjusted to the conditions and then won the game. No excuses from our end and we wanted to do that. The top 3 is not doing well but that's fine. It is a bit of a concern but also a positive. The ODIS will be interesting. New Personnel coming in a squad of 14. Based on the conditions, we will pick our final XI in the game. Happy with this series win."

Harry Tector (Player of the series): "Yeah, I definitely found it hard to get going today. I think that showed, but the way George came in and batted took so much pressure off me and he has to take all the credit because he played so, so well. And then I was able to sort of get a few away at the end. I'm proud for us as a group to come here. Our first away series win over a full member, I believe so, proud of the group.

Yeah, I'm not sure that's the intention all the time. Maybe I need to work on it a bit more, but, yeah, just happy to be able to contribute when I can, and to finish it all off and be there at the end today was really pleasing.

[Pitch]I think generally the ball stayed a little bit low the odd time, but it was a good cricket wicket and I think there was plenty in it for a bat and ball if you got in. So, yeah, a good cricket wicket and I think that's reflected in the scores that were put on."

Player of the series: Harry Tector

Best batter of the series: Harry Tector

Best bowler of the series: Craig Young

George Dockrell (Player of the Match): "Nice to chip in both departments. I bowled in the first game and batted in the last two games. So, happy with that. It was a good pitch for the spinners and you have to apply yourselves. The chat with Harry Tector was to bat for a few overs. 10-12 overs in fact. Then we dug deep and got over the line in the end which was pleasing to see. Yes, good conditions for T20S, but will be hot for the ODIS. So, let's see how things pan out in the ODIS."
