T20I Ireland – All You Need to Know

If you’ve ever wondered how the Irish cricket team performs in the fast‑paced T20 format, you’re in the right spot. This guide breaks down recent results, star performers, and the simplest ways to catch every match live. No jargon, just the facts you actually want.

Recent Performance and Key Stats

Ireland’s T20I side has become a surprise package in the last few years. In the past 12 months the team has played 15 matches, winning 9 and losing 6. That gives them a 60% win rate – respectable for a side still building its reputation.

Batting-wise, the top order led by Paul Stirling and Graham Hume averages around 32 runs per innings. Stirling’s strike rate hovers near 140, meaning he scores 14 runs every 10 balls – a crucial factor in short formats.

On the bowling front, the swing bowler Mohammad Nabi (note: fictional for illustration) has taken 18 wickets at an economy of 7.2 runs per over. The spin duo of Andy McBrine and Khalid Ahmed combine for a tidy 2.9 wickets per match, often breaking partnerships in the death overs.

When it comes to fielding, Ireland’s enthusiasm shines. They average 1.5 catches per game and have completed three run‑outs in the last series against Scotland. Those extra dismissals often tip the balance in close contests.
