Crucial winners takes all clash between Ireland and Japan to see who makes the next phase. Big wicket early on for Olly Riley who removes Japan's prolific run scorer Hugo Tani-Kelly. Two wickets for Adam Leckey and one for Sam Haslett has Ireland on top at 72-4. Japan rebuilding and more evenly poised just past halfway. Stand broken by Tom Ford. Followed by a third for Adam Leckey that puts Ireland on top despite a half century for Hara-Hinze. It's all Ireland now as Sam Haslett has a second with Hara-Hinze gone. But Japan rallying with a flurry of boundaries taking them towards the 200 mark. Big last six overs coming up. Poor final spell for Ireland with indisciplined bowling, fielding and awful body language. Japan will be delighted with 247. Ireland should chase it down but no guarantees under pressure. Early let offs as both West and Ogilby are dropped Kazuma Kato-Stafford the unlucky bowler in both cases. But he gets the breakthrough as this time West's tentative prod leaves a gap and the stumps are rattled. Ogilby certainly taking advantage of that early life, passes 50 the partnership with Adam Leckey worth 58 at the drinks break. Japan unable to exert any pressure on the Irish pair at the moment, runs coming at will. Ogilby gone but Ireland's to lose at the halfway stage with only 100 more required. Leckey out for 44 but Rob O'Brien and Seb Dijkstra chipping away as Ireland move serenely closer to their target. Until O'Brien is caught on the ropes for 18. Late twist with just 55 needed? No, all very straightforward with Seb Dijkstra making a half century in a low risk closing chase, although Ireland did also lose Marko Bates and Olly Riley with the finishing line in sight to give the result a closer look.

Both Sri Lanka's openers gone for single figures - no 328 opening partnership for them today, Reuben Wilson and Olly Riley with the early wickets. Luke Murray gets the third but Sri Lanka rebuilding and look on course to post a decent total. Fourth wicket stand of 80 ended by a direct hit run out by Wilson as Ireland keeping themselves very much in contention. A fifth wicket stand of exactly 100 puts Sri Lanka on top as the Irish fielding and bowling wilts with a few missed chances that you expect will prove costly. Sri Lanka boosted by Ireland's concession of 20 wides end on 267 for 5. Tough chase, but who knows? Ireland started slowly and never threatened the chase at any stage. Callum Armstrong top-scored with 39 having retired hurt on 37. Reuben Wilson (32) and Olly Riley (31*) struck some late defiant blows but it was in truth a dead cat bounce. All is not lost however and Ireland will progress if they beat Associate side Japan later in the week,

A solid batting effort by Ireland having been put in by defending champions Australia. Freddie Ogilby laid the foundations for a decent total with a solid 49 adding 36 with James West (11) and 37 with Seb Dijkstra (12). Top-scorer was Rob O'Brien who accelerated nicely to make 79 (9 fours) as Pete Johnston's side finally broke the shackles in the last eight overs plundering 76 runs to end on 235 for 7. There were cameos too from Adam Leckey (22), as well as Marko Bates (14) and Ollie Riley - the latter two each hitting the only sixes of the Ireland innings. Will it be enough? Probably not against one of the tournament favourites. At drinks, Australia have made a strong start reaching 95 for 1 (15). Reuben Wilson with the sole success, but Ireland need much more and quickly of they are to fight back in the contest, Dropped chance as Ogilby spills one from Wilson after the drinks break. Steven Hogan reaches his half century from 50 balls (6 fours, 1 six) and looks a real quality player. He and Nitesh Samuel have added 102 and counting. All very one-sided at the minute as the Aussies race to 153 for 1 at the midway point. Riley drops a return catch from Hogan on 75, while Wilson drops the same player on 82 off Leckey, but it won't affect the result. Ireland heads dropping and it's all gone very quiet in the field. Hundred for Hogan from 97 balls (10 fours,1 six). Just 40 needed from 18 overs at the second drinks break. Game long over as a contest before Hogan gives it away, a skier to keeper Ogilby. Oliver Peake, fresh from the Big Bash comes to the crease and ends the game with a boundary from a free-hit. The partnership between Hogan and Samuel was worth 186 - easy pickings with little threat from the Irish bowlers.

The one that got away - 'They thought it was all over, well it is now!' Ireland given the chance for their batters to get time at the crease having been put in by Tanzania. A bright start by Freddie Ogilby before Rob O'Brien and Adam Leckey added 51 for the fourth wicket. Eleven to bat and eleven to bowl is the usual warm-up format so even with six out there should be runs to be had in the last ten overs. But Ireland use only six of them as the innings falls away short of 200 and that will come back to haunt them. Eight bowlers used by Tanzania with seamer Khalidy Juma wrapping things up claiming 5 wickets and Augustino Mwamele returning 2-33 in a tidy 10 overs. Four wickets for skipper Olly Riley in his opening spell and it's surely game over already! I imagine there are a few bowlers out there fighting trying to catch the captain's eye. A 64 run partnership for the eighth wicket held Ireland up with Mo Simba and Khalidy Juma attacking Ireland's spinners, before Luke Murray returned to find the edge of Simba's bat. The ninth wicket partnership passes 30 with Ireland struggling to wrap this up and perhaps starting to think the unthinkable. Juma out for exactly 50 with 8 required, a fifth wicket for Riley but Pascal sees Tanzania to a memorable win. Ireland couldn't wrap up the Windies innings in the previous game and it was the same again today. Tanzania were 21-6 and 70-7 but added 131 for the loss of the next 2!!. Khalidy Juma with a five-for and 50 runs the hero for Tanzania.

Ireland held the West Indies in check with only Jewel Andrew, who featured in the Windies Senior tour to England and Ireland last year keeping things together with a 66 ball half century. But the final two Windies wickets added 77 runs that could be vital today. Luke Murray with three wickets and two each for Febin Manoj and Thomas Ford. No chance for Ireland to get to the crease with the game finally abandoned. Ireland's second scheduled warm up is against Tanzania on Tuesday - I'd bet right now that they will bat first if they get the chance.

Both sides will take heart from this hastily arranged game after yesterday's washout of Ireland's planned match versus a North Western University side. All Scotland's front line batters got time at the crease while Ireland used 10 bowlers in what was an all squad affair. A 204 run partnership between Rob O'Brien and Adam Leckey saw Ireland complete the win with five balls to spare. Ireland in action again tomorrow against NWU at the same venue before heading to Namibia for the 'official' warmups starting this weekend
