New York: Canada won their first-ever Twenty20 World Cup match with a stunning 12-run victory against Ireland in New York on Friday.
Defending a target of just 138, the non-Test nation bowled and fielded expertly to hold Ireland to 125-7 from their full 20 overs.
From 26-0, Ireland lost six wickets for 33 runs as they slumped to 59-6, with Andrew Balbirnie (17) and Lorcan Tucker (10) the only top-order batsmen to reach double figures.
George Dockrell (30 not out) and Mark Adair (34) revived Irish hopes during a partnership of 62 in seven overs.
The seventh-wicket duo reduced the target to 17 off the last six balls.
