Australia now reaches the 2nd spot in the point table of their respective group. Set to bat first, Australia started their game well with skipper Aaron Finch and playing a remarkable knock of 63 runs from 44 deliveries. Mitchell Marsha and Marcus Stoinis contributed down the order to help the hosts amass 179/5 after the end of 20 overs.
Australia needed to win the game by an excess of 75 runs to give past England in the NRR which was ultimately foiled by a stunning unbeaten 71-run knock by Lorcan Tucker. Ireland experienced a total batting collapse as Australian bowlers carried out their rampage. Australia are now level on points with New Zealand but have a lower run rate than their Kiwi outfits.

With the top two teams advancing to the semi-finals, Australia’s big win lifted their net run-rate just shy of England’s, putting pressure on Jos Buttler’s side to beat New Zealand at the same venue on Tuesday. After a slow and awkward 31 not out against Sri Lanka in Perth, Finch started tensely with the bat but grew in confidence in partnerships with Mitchell Marsh (28) and Marcus Stoinis (35).
The stocky opener struggled with his running later in the innings, though, and left the field early with a hamstring strain during Ireland’s chase. “A little hammy twinge, I think, so we’ll get a scan tomorrow. Unfortunately I’ve had a history of them so we’ll see how it goes,” said Finch, named man-of-the-match. “That doesn’t feel too bad at the moment but generally overnight they can stiffen up.”
It put a sour note on a clinical performance by the hosts in front of a crowd laden with fans dressed in Halloween costumes. After spin bowling all-rounder Glenn Maxwell took two quick wickets, Starc bowled Curtis Campher and George Dockrell in a thrilling burst of fast bowling as Ireland crashed to 25 for five at the end of the fourth over.
Ireland number three Lorcan Tucker batted on and finished with a brave, unbeaten 71 but had little support from his team mates as the Irish were bowled out for 137 after 18.1 overs.
