Mark Wood said he was “angry and disappointed” as England fell to a shock defeat against Ireland in the T20 World Cup after a hugely underwhelming performance with the bat and in the field. “We were off, they were on and they deserved to win,” he said.
Ireland won by five runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method after rain fell in the 15th over of England’s innings. The match on Friday against Australia, also in Melbourne and with a similar weather forecast, thus becomes a virtual eliminator, with neither side able to afford defeat.
