Paul Stirling, captain of Ireland is in for a chat. He starts by saying that it was a challenging day for the team, as they struggled to take wickets during the middle overs and couldn’t make any early breakthroughs, making the task even more difficult. The team’s approach hasn’t changed much; they aimed to navigate through the new ball, which once again moved around, but couldn’t manage it effectively. Chasing a total like 340 requires partnerships and big scores, as demonstrated by South Africa. It wasn’t about attacking from the start, but they needed to push beyond the 10s and 20s and build bigger innings, something they couldn’t accomplish.
