Speaking to www.cricketireland.ie after the match, Ireland head coach Aaron Hamilton said: “It was a very disappointing batting display today. We went away from our processes which caused back to back wickets being lost throughout our innings.

“We played a lot of really good cricket against India on Thursday but we didn’t want to get our hands dirty today.”

It’s a long wait to Ireland’s opening ICC World T20 fixture against New Zealand in Mohali on 18 March, Hamilton continued “We now have the opportunity to get a couple of training sessions in before we play New Zealand.”

Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka are their other opponents in Group A.
