North West duo make World Cup debut
North West pair Stuart Thompson and Andy McBrine were handed their World Cup debut for Ireland against Zimbabwe today.
McBrine bowled well and collected two wickets during his four over spell, as Zimbabwe finished with 163 for 5, off their 20 overs, in their opening ICC World T20 game, in Sylhet.
Ireland’s batting quest to get 164 runs to win, gets underway shortly with fellow North West man and skipper William Porterfield and Paul Stirling opening the batting. The game from Bangladesh is live on Sky Sports 2 now.
