Red letter day for Canada!! They create a slice of history as Ireland's tepid batting performance comes back to bite them. Batting first on this sluggish New York wicket, Canada managed to get 137 thanks to handy contributions from Kirton and Shreyas Movva. In reply, their bowlers kept things very tight in the powerplay as Ireland could manage just a solitary boundary off the first four overs. The dot balls took a toll on Stirling who skewed his big pull shot through to the keeper. Then, Canada's spinners choked Ireland in the middle phase, as skipper Saad bin Zafar bowled an economical spell of 1/22. Dillon Heyliger also kept things tight from the other end with his tidy spell of 2/18, as Ireland went through a phase of nine overs with no boundaries. The top order batters disappointed for Ireland, but they found some late resurgence from Dockrell and Mark Adair. However, the target proved too stiff and Canada's bowlers held their nerve to give them a famous win.

Congratulations to RiddlerPump for winning the 13th Prediction game.

Paul Striling: Tough loss today, we weren't at the races today. The target was gettable, we didn't think we'd struggle too much. We were off in all three facets today, we need to show a better game when we go to Miami and Florida. We don't want to look too far into the future, we've got USA next.

Congratulations to Canada for winning the match
