Australia vs Ireland, 14th Match, Group B, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Highlights

Mark Adair to Xavier Bartlett, FOUR, streaky but four, slower ball outside off - Bartlett reaches out on the drive, gets a thick bottom-edge and the ball bounces past the keeper's reach

Mark Adair to Cooper Connolly, SIX, a high full-toss, this could be a no-ball for height - Connolly hammers with the wind and slogs it deep into the stands at mid-wicket. It's deemed as a fair delivery

Barry McCarthy to Xavier Bartlett, FOUR, hammered, slower short ball outside off - Bartlett clears his front-foot, backs away and then clubs it over the bowler's head, bounces away and past long-off's dive

Mark Adair to Marcus Stoinis, out Caught by Benjamin Calitz!! Another chance and Calitz has taken it with nonchalant ease - a low full-toss and Stoinis will be kicking himself at missing out, flicked it over square leg and didn't bother to find the gap. Calitz moves across to his left in the deep, goes reverse-cup and holds onto it with ease. Marcus Stoinis c Benjamin Calitz b Mark Adair 45(29) [4s-2 6s-1]

Mark Adair to Marcus Stoinis, SIX, clubbed, another slower ball, this was a back of the hand delivery, but it simply sat-up to be smacked - Stoinis swivels across, picks the length early and heaves it over square leg for a maximum

Mark Adair to Marcus Stoinis, 2 runs, on a length and at the stumps, nudged past square leg and Stoinis comes back for the second - there's a direct hit the striker's end, but Stoinis's is well home

Matthew Humphreys to Matt Renshaw, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! That's gone straight through Renshaw's defences - tad shorter and quicker from the left-arm spinner - Renshaw was rooted to the crease as he went back on the whip, beaten for pace and beaten on the angle, the ball crashes into the top of middle-stump - Renshaw falls after an useful hand. Matt Renshaw b Matthew Humphreys 37(33) [4s-2]

Barry McCarthy to Matt Renshaw, FOUR, hammered, short of a good length and just outside off - Renshaw gets on top of the bounce and then thumps it back over the bowler's head, bounces away to the ropes

Barry McCarthy to Matt Renshaw, 2 runs, slower short ball, bowled into the pitch and Renshaw drags it through mid-wicket for a couple, brings up the 50-run stand

George Dockrell to Matt Renshaw, FOUR, lovely, tad too full and wide of off - Matt Renshaw gets on top of the bounce and then drives it past the fielder at cover, runs away across the fast outfield

Harry Tector to Marcus Stoinis, FOUR, short ball down the leg-side and Marcus Stoinis flicks it away to the fine leg fence nonchalantly. That was a really loose ball and was rightly put away to the fence

Harry Tector to Glenn Maxwell, out Caught by Lorcan Tucker!! Edged and taken! Quicker through the air outside off, Glenn Maxwell goes for a cut and the edge has been taken by the keeper. Good sharp catch as Maxwell is gone for a single-digit score. Expected him to score big, but he's gone early. The spinners did a pretty good job in the previous match at this venue, they are making an impact once again. Glenn Maxwell c Lorcan Tucker b Harry Tector 9(9) [4s-1]

George Dockrell to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, George Dockrell goes short on middle and leg, Glenn Maxwell pulls it away to the deep square leg for four runs

George Dockrell to Josh Inglis, out Caught by Paul Stirling!! That's a superb diving catch by Stirling at cover. This grips into the surface and arrives slightly late. Josh Inglis was in two minds there. He ends up chipping it towards cover where the Ireland captain dives to his right and takes it. That was proving to be a fine cameo by Inglis. Had to be a brilliance in the outfield to bring an end to it. Josh Inglis c Paul Stirling b George Dockrell 37(17) [4s-6 6s-1]

George Dockrell to Josh Inglis, FOUR, Josh Inglis continues to smash boundaries. That was tad short, Josh Inglis rocks back in the crease and pulls it through mid-wicket for four more

Gareth Delany to Josh Inglis, FOUR, makes room and lofts this tossed up delivery over deep extra cover for half-a-dozen. Making the most of the powerplay is Josh Inglis

Mark Adair to Cameron Green, out Caught by George Dockrell!! Mark Adair has the last laugh! Goes slow around middle and leg, Cameron Green goes for a wild swing and miscues it altogether. Off the cue end towards mid-wicket, where Dockrell completes a rather easy catch. Cameron Green walks back after playing a handy little cameo. Looked in good touch, unfortunately fails to make the most of that start. Cameron Green c George Dockrell b Mark Adair 21(11) [4s-1 6s-2]

Mark Adair to Cameron Green, SIX, Green on the charge! A good length delivery around middle and leg, Cameron Green gets into a good position and flicks it over deep backward square leg for a towering six. What a clean strike that was

Mark Adair to Josh Inglis, 1 run, back of a length around middle and leg, Josh Inglis nudges it through the on-side for one

Mark Adair to Josh Inglis, SIX, caught at fine leg but Delany has stepped on the cushion! Was a back of a length delivery and Josh Inglis swung it high up in the air. Played it with the breeze and it was a good take by the fielder, but he couldn't stay away from the cushions

Barry McCarthy to Cameron Green, SIX, flicked away! A length delivery around leg, Cameron Green backs away and clubs the slower one over deep mid-wicket for the first maximum of this match

Barry McCarthy to Cameron Green, FOUR, back of a length around off, Cameron Green makes room and thumps it over mid-off for a rollicking boundary. That's his first one of the match

Matthew Humphreys to Josh Inglis, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries! Short ball down the leg-side and Josh Inglis flicks it over the fielder at short fine leg. Three boundaries for Josh Inglis already

Matthew Humphreys to Josh Inglis, FOUR, makes room by moving away and slashes this through point for four more does Josh Inglis

Mark Adair to Josh Inglis, FOUR, short of a length outside off, Josh Inglis plays it late, steering it away to the deep backward point boundary. The fielder in the deep tries his best, but fails to stop the ball

Mark Adair to Travis Head, out Travis Head Run Out!! Calitz makes up for that dropped catch immediately. That was a really bad call by Inglis. Was a slightly short ball and Travis Head got an inside edge towards square leg. Inglis calls for a quick single, and Head is late to react. He didn't have an idea where the ball exactly was. Goes for the run nevertheless and Calitz is quick to fire a throw at the bowler's end. Adair gathers the ball and whips off the bails with Head comfortably out of his crease. Travis Head run out (Benjamin Calitz/Mark Adair) 6(7) [4s-1]

Matthew Humphreys to Travis Head, FOUR, fraction short outside off, Travis Head arches back and carves it through the gap at point for the first boundary of the match
