Match 10
Group Stage match 10: Rain saves England
May 4, 2010
England survived a scare from Ireland before rain forced the abandonment of their Group D match. Both teams ended up splitting one point each, as Ireland could only bat for 3.3 overs. They were 14 for the loss of one wicket, looking at a comfortable win chasing England's 120 for eight.
England went through on superior run-rate, with minnows Ireland paying dearly for their 70-run defeat by the hosts on Friday.
