Join us then but that's from us for now - click here for a report on today's action.
Thanks for your company.
Ireland win by 134 runs
Ireland bowling coach Ryan Eagleson: "I think the debutants where outstanding. Jai Moondra was outstanding. He ran in and bowled quick and was clocked at 87-88mph. He has that left-arm option which is always nice.
The smartness that they bowled with was very pleasing. The pace that they bowled with was very impressive and the fact that they did it with a smile on their face was brilliant to see. To do that in their first game against the world champions is incredible.
The bowling unit as a whole where brilliant. Our fielding was very impressive and we saved lots of runs in the field. We did the basics very well. The seamers did a brilliant job.
It's a huge day for Irish cricket. We have beaten the world T20 champions in our back yard at Stormont and credit to everyone at Stormont for the condition and standard of the pitch and for the set up created."

Lorcan Tucker came in and batted sensibly and he got his 50 and anchored the innings. India got bowled out in the 19th over which doesn't happen often.
Ireland played smarter cricket for most of the day and they where better in the field and deservedly won the match.
Ireland win by 34 runs
So this makes Ireland World champions now, right?

Ireland captain Lorcan Tucker speaking on TNT Sports: "It was pretty special, credit to the lads, we scrapped through the game, we were diligent and got our rewards.
"The debutants were really dogged, showed their skill and accuracy and made it challenging for their batters.
"Series win against India at home would be so special and the boys are mustard keen to get back out there again."

Matt Hollard speaking on TNT Sports: "I never expected this, to have a debut against India it's a dream come true and I couldn't ask for anything better. My family have come out from Johannesburg to support me.
"I've been wanting to come over to Ireland since 2019 but then Covid happened and there were a lot of setbacks. My brother came first and said I had to come so I did and Cricket Ireland have been unbelievable with me."
Ed Joyce
Former Ireland women's coach on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 3
I wasn't expecting this! A truly incredible performance. Putting in a performance like this was fantastic for a side that don't get to many tournaments. The debutants came in and did a brilliant job.
India will have been disappointed to let Ireland get up to 180 and at times they were sloppy in the field.
My overwhelming thoughts are surprise and I'm delighted for everyone in the Ireland changing room.
Ireland win by 34 runs
Love it! Well done Ireland

Arshdeep c T Tector b Humphreys 2 (Ind 148 all out)
Ireland have done it, they've stunned world champions India at a sunny Stormont and claimed one of the biggest wins in their history.
A momentous victory was sealed when Arsheep Singh hit a Matthew Humphreys delivery high into the blue sky and Tim Tector clung on to the catch to ensure this will be a day Irish fans will never forget.
It's a first ever victory for Ireland over the giants of world cricket.

Ireland are on the brink of history.
Harshit Rana goes for a big hit off Matthew Humphreys but it falls shot and Ben Calitz takes another catch.
Ind 147-8
Drama at Stormont as Harshit Rana is dropped by Harry Tector in the deep - how costly could that be.
India need 36 from 12 balls to win.
Greg Molins
Former Ireland spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 3
An absolutely stunned crowd. The Indian crowd can't believe what they are seeing. India have to go for it now. Ireland are on the verge of a historic victory.
Axar c T Tector b Delany 15 (Ind 137-8)
It's on, it's definitely on!
Axar Patel thumps Gareth Delany's delivery long but it's another fantastic catch by the Irish, this time Tim Tector holding on at the boundary.
