Ireland v Netherlands Cricket World Cup Match Report
Having upstaged England earlier in the tournament with a shock three-wicket victory, the Irish couldn’t keep up their triumphant ways with subsequent losses to the West Indies, India and South Africa and failed to qualify for the quarter-finals. Friday’s result, however, saw finish their campaign on a high note, with Stirling’s 101 runs from just 72 balls at the forefront of the six-wicket victory.

Porterfield praised the talented right-hander for the way he bounced back from a torrid run of form, which saw him accrue just 56 runs across five knocks in the limited-overs showpiece across the subcontinent.

Paul Stirling celebrates his maiden World Cup ton.

“It was a great innings,” Porterfield said. “He hasn’t had the best of runs so far in the tournament and to come out and play the way he did - get a ton in the fashion that he did - shows a lot of character in the lad and I’m happy for him,” enthused Porterfield, who shared in a 177-run stand for the first wicket with the centurion.

Ireland’s decision to bat first after winning the toss backfired somewhat as Ryan ten Doeschate’s century powered the Dutch to a formidable 306 all out. But Stirling, with half-centuries from Porterfield and Niall O’Brien along for the ride, had very little trouble in knocking off their required target with 14 balls to spare.

“We were slightly disappointed with the way we went up front and threw out with the ball, gave them a lot of scoring options. But in the reply, to play the way we did. Our batting’s let us down a couple of times before, so it was nice to knock off 300-plus,” added Porterfield.

“We’re pretty happy with the fact that where we came from and with all the preparation that we’d done, we’ve gone out there and executed a lot of it.

“We’ve played some good consistent cricket throughout this tournament and that’s what we’re asking for. We’re pretty happy with where we’re at now.”

Defeated skipper Peter Borren, who earlier in the day complemented ten Doeschate’s ton with a quickfire 84, was left to lament a poor display with the ball.

“I thought we made a pretty good comeback from four down for about a 100. And at half-time I thought it was a pretty good score. But on these types of wickets if you don’t get it right with the ball, then you’re going to go for plenty of runs,” rued Borren.

“Young Paul Stirling’s had a bit of a rough tournament. But he’s come out today and he’s given it to us.”

	W Barresi	lbw b Stirling	44	61	49	4	2	89.79
	21.5 91.6 kph, Review: Appeal for lbw, it's bowled on a good length, he walks across to turn it square, turns in, he misses, and is caught in front. Doctrove's the umpire, he raises his finger immediately. Barresi wants a review, but he's gonna have to go. That was out. Landed in line, struck him in line and was hitting middle and off. 113/4
	TLW Cooper	c Porterfield b Rankin	5	7	5	1	0	100.00
	2.3 133.2 kph, Netherlands in early trouble here, short of a good length and it's there to cut but Cooper fails to keep it down, strikes it straight into the hands of point, easy catch, Ireland are in control 12/2
	RN ten Doeschate	c Mooney b Stirling	106	166	108	13	1	98.14
	39.5 82.7 kph, Stirling bowled it flat this time, ten Doeschate had made his mind up, came down the track and tried to clear long-off but it was mistimed, the ball was quicker and he couldn't quite connect well, found a perfectly placed long-off, Mooney taking a simple catch 234/5
	AN Kervezee	c KJ O'Brien b Mooney	12	34	16	2	0	75.00
	10.1 122.1 kph, Kervezee gives it away! This really was such a soft dismissal, back-of-a-length on off stump and he just popped it straight into short extra cover's hands. He's better than that, Kervezee, and will be bitterly disappointed. Certainly not the greatest way to sign off at the World Cup, and Netherlands lose another 53/3
	PW Borren	c Porterfield b Mooney	84	108	82	10	0	102.43
	46.5 103.6 kph, slower one and Borren has to go, just drove at it gently, was looking to clear extra cover but didn't have the power behind it, found Porterfield at the edge of the circle at extra cover 287/6
	AF Buurman	run out (†NJ O'Brien)	26	49	30	4	0	86.66
	49.4 from KJ O'Brien, another wide, too wide, called one, Buuman wants to steal a bye, Niall O'Brien collects, and opts to run down towards the stumps and take them out instead of flicking a throw, the ploy works and Buurman, who was sent back by Bukhari, was caught short. He has to walk back 305/7
	Mudassar Bukhari	run out (Mooney/†NJ O'Brien)	11	22	8	0	1	137.50
	49.6 from KJ O'Brien, four in four, swung away towards deep midwicket, attempts an impossible second run, it's an accurate throw to the keeper who takes off the bails to beat Bukhari's dive 306/10
	PM Seelaar	run out (Mooney)	0	1	1	0	0	0.00
	49.4 from KJ O'Brien, run-out, Netherlands slipping up in the final over, dropped into the leg side, Mooney runs in from midwicket, collects and throws down the stumps at the non-striker's end to find Seelaar short 305/8
	Adeel Raja	run out (Joyce/KJ O'Brien)	0	1	0	0	0	-
	49.5 KJ O'Brien to Mudassar Bukhari, three run-outs, a team-hatrick, short ball outside off, slapped to mid-off, Joyce fields and returns a throw to O'Brien who takes off the bails, Bukhari had called for a single but was sent back, another one goes 305/9

	26.6 80.4 kph, finally Netherlands have a wicket, the extra bounce did him in, else a nothing delivery, short and miles outside off stump, he lined up for the cut, but the bounce meant he edged it in to the keeper's gloves, who is delighted, Cooper flashes a wide smile, Porterfield is furious 177/1
