Ireland on course, says match-winner Wilson

26 February 2015 10:31

Ireland's Gary Wilson said the side had done all that could be asked ahead of their World Cup clash against South Africa after they made it two wins with a thrilling victory over the United Arab Emirates. Wilson's composed 80 and a quickfire 24-ball fifty from Kevin O'Brien revived Ireland in pursuit of a target of 279 set by their fellow non-Test nation. There were a few more twists and turns before the Irish, in the match of the tournament so far, got home for a two-wicket win with four balls to spare. Ireland are third in Pool B and on course for the quarter-finals.
