Canada v Ireland gets underway today. Ireland need to win against both Canada and Zimbabwe XI to keep their chances of a 4th title on the run intact. Given how badly Canada have been playing in the tournament this time around, I doubt Ireland will have many problems with them, at least...

Canada 5/2 - flying start by the Irish there.

[maehara]

First-innings points go to Ireland. Canada 120 all-out, Ireland 122/2 at the moment.

[sloandog]

Canada are not a good side anymore. Since the disappearing of Davison, Barnett and Bilcliffe, the side has lacked quality batters.
