England into Super Eights

KARACHI: In a bizarre twist of England’s rain-hit fate, the England- Ireland winner-takes-all match was called off due to rain and each team was awarded a point, which means that England go through on net run rate.

England’s next opponent will be decided by the Bangladesh-Australia match today. If Australia win, England will face Pakistan on Thursday. Ireland’s pacers curtailed England to 120 for 8 with the only sturdy innings coming from former Ireland star Eoin Morgan.
