Ireland 249 for 7 (53 Porterfield, Kevin O'Brien 43) beat Canada 193 (Dockrell 2-27) by 56 runs
Ireland back-to-back one-day victories against Canada with a 56-run victory in Clontarf, despite an improved showing in the area of visitors. After piling up 328 in the first ODI, Ireland had to work hard to post 249 for 7, but it was still enough to come out on top.
William Field Porter, Ireland captain, top scored with 53 but needed Kevin O'Brien, a lively 43 to ensure the home half to give themselves some breathing space. Canada was in response to a lively start, but soon began to lose wickets regularly for three of their first four are out of stock.
Trent Johnston made the first breakthrough when Hiral Patel pull top edge flew to third man, and the excellence of Ireland in the area began to show through. Johnston, despite his questionable knee, broke out in mid to eliminate Gunasekera Ruvindu Porterfield then jumped to the top with a good return on Nitish Kumar strains found beneath its soil.
Canada has not learned from their mistakes and Usman Limbara third was to be executed, falling to 99 by 4. Rizwan Cheema, who has a reputation as a big puncher, he immediately tried to live up to billing, but could not find much about George Dockrell. And start-up, the spinners of Ireland - Dockrell, who gave less than three to one, again, and Albert van der Merwe - strangled the score as Canada continues to lag behind the rate.
Canada had at least shown more fight on the ground. They trimmed it to Ireland, which did not run away with the scoring rate. When Niall O'Brien was executed hosts were 118 for 4 and threaten to lose their way, but the experienced chefs Gary Wilson and Kevin O'Brien set the sleeves.
O'Brien was the aggressor, while Wilson provided an anchor and made sure I was there for the closing surplus after O'Brien had been captured along a. Johnston has provided a useful unbeaten 22, and although the order was not to impose total was more than enough.
