Harare, June 30 (Ians) Three wickets from fast bowler Craig Young, followed by a belligerent half-century from opener Paul Stirling helped Ireland beat USA by six in their seventh-place playoff semi-final at the Men’s Odi World Cup Qualifiers, here on Friday.
For the USA, Saiteja Mukkamalla and Sushant Modani scored half-centuries, but Young’s three-fer and support from other bowlers meant they were 196 all out. In reply, Stirling smashed nine fours and two sixes in his 45-ball 58 to take Ireland over the line with 94 balls to spare.
Asked to bat first in the first-ever Odi meeting between the two teams, opener Steven Taylor played with plenty of freedom early on, before a double-wicket maiden from Young in the seventh over took out both Taylor and captain Monank Patel.
Mukkamalla and Modani then combined for an 88-run partnership before the former was run out in the 23rd over by McBrine catching him short of his crease.

Apart from Williams, opener Joylord Gumbie’s 78, as well as whirlwind knocks of 48 and 47 from Sikandar Raza and Ryan Burl respectively propelled Zimbabwe to their highest Odi total of a mammoth 408/6 in 50 overs.
