Ireland captain Andy Balbirnie hailed the mentality of his team after a nine-wicket victory over West Indies clinched their place in the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup.
West Indies skipper Nicholas Pooran expressed his disappointment and mentioned that the team has let down its fans after his team's exit at the T20 World Cup on Friday following a crushing defeat to Ireland. The captain also cited his batting failure at the World Cup and was absolutely disappointed about the West Indies exit. "We have disappointed our fans and ourselves. It's definitely hurting.

MELBOURNE -Paul Stirling smashed a glittering half-century as Ireland eliminated twice champions West Indies from the T20 World Cup and advanced to the Super 12 phase with a nine-wicket thrashing in Hobart on Friday.
It was their 32-year-old veteran opener Paul Stirling who smashed an unbeaten 66 from 48 balls (6x4, 2x6) to seal the chase with 15 balls to spare after legspinner Gareth Delany's careerbest figures of 4-0-16-3 restricted the Windies to 146 for five. Playing their seventh T20 World Cup, it is only the second time Ireland reached the second stage following their Super 8 appearance at the 2009 edition in England. West Indies, who are the most successful side of the T20 World Cup having won the titles in 2012 and 2016, thus cut a sorry figure, crashing out of the group stage with just one win from three matches. The Nicholas Pooran-led side who were without the likes of Shimron Hetmyer and Andre Russell lacked depth and looked out of sort, suffering to a 42-run defeat against Scotland.
