Ireland are out of the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh after they lost to The Netherlands this afternoon.

The Irish team were undone by an amazing batting performance from the Dutch.

Ireland ran up an impressive total of 189 for 4 in their 20 overs, including a partnership total of 101 from Andrew Poynter and Kevin O'Brien, which left them on the verge of qualification for the Super 10 round.

It means the Dutch have topped Group B and have surprisingly qualified for the Super 10s.
