Ireland have scored 228 runs in their 50 overs of the second men’s one-day international against the United Arab Emirates this morning.
The game was given the go-ahead yesterday after two of the four matches scheduled could not proceed as planned due to COVID-19 health concerns.
The Emirates Cricket Board statement released said:
The match is being live-streamed in partnership with Cricket Ireland partner ITW Consulting and is being broadcast in India on EuroSports, in the UK on Premier Sports, on Criclife in the UAE and Willow TV in the USA.
Updates with video highlights are also being posted on Cricket Ireland’s social media channels.
“We’re delighted that the go-ahead has been granted for the rescheduled match,” said High-Performance Director Richard Holdsworth.
“It has been very disruptive for team planning and player preparation not knowing when the next game will be.”
The game is a final warm-up for a three-game series against Afghanistan that will be part of the World Cup Super League.
In this, each team will play an ODI series against eight of the twelve other teams, four series at home and four away. The results will be used to determine which two sides not already pre-qualified will go through to play in the next World Cup.
