Australia vs Ireland, 14th Match, Group B, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Nathan Ellis to Ross Adair, out Bowled!! Oh dear! Things are going pear shaped for the Irish - Ellis starts with a slower ball - flicked off his hand and Adair didn't pick it up at all - backs away and looks to nudge it onto the on-side, he's completely undone, done like a kipper and plays all around the ball. The ball clips the pad and then crashes into the middle-stump - Ellis beams in happiness and Australia have started well with the ball. Ross Adair b Nathan Ellis 12(9) [4s-1 6s-1]

Matthew Kuhnemann to Ross Adair, 1 run, flighted delivery on the leg-stump line, tucked wide of mid-wicket for a single

Matthew Kuhnemann to Ross Adair, no run, chance and Renshaw has dropped a sitter - flatter and wider of off, Adair was backing away and then has to reach out on the cut, hit it in the air and straight to the fielder at cover-point - did he take it far too easy? In and out of his grasp

Matthew Kuhnemann to Ross Adair, no run, flighted delivery on middle and leg, turned to the on-side

Xavier Bartlett to Ross Adair, 1 run, fuller length delivery on the pads, clipped wide of mid-on for a single

Xavier Bartlett to Ross Adair, no run, tad fuller and around the off-stump line, Adair clears his front-leg and then defends it back at the bowler

Xavier Bartlett to Ross Adair, SIX, smashed, he's known for his powerhitting and Adair has started off well here - runs down the pitch, makes room and then lifts it over mid-off, was perfectly balanced and he clears the ropes at long-off with ease

Xavier Bartlett to Ross Adair, FOUR, much better from Adair - pitched up by Bartlett and Adair doesn't bother to keep the drive down, picked the length early and then drove it over cover, bounces away to the the ropes

Xavier Bartlett to Ross Adair, no run, just short of the keeper, on a good length and swinging back into the right-hander - Adair swings wildly, gets an under-edge and the ball drops short of the diving Josh Inglis
