  After the defeat, England captain Jos Buttler admitted that his team had made a mistake against Ireland.  He also said that he was under pressure to make it to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup.  “I thought we were poor in the first 10 overs.  We were not consistent enough, let them score on both sides of the wicket.  The remaining ten overs were much better.

  Butler continued, “Ireland were fantastic, they beat us. We know we made a mistake here and put more pressure on us, but of course if you need to push the game, England-Australia in them.”  Ireland captain Andy Balburnie was delighted with the win against one of the tournament favourites.  “Some of the fans in the crowd have extended their stay,” he added.  Their support has been amazing.  On Friday we have Afghanistan, wait for it.  However, we need to improve.”
