DRINKS! Ireland have recovered well from early trouble, and skipper Lorcan Tucker is leading from the front. He became just the second Irish captain to score a half-century in a T20 World Cup, and now will look to stay till the end to get them to a good total. He has been well supported by Gareth Delany, who has played his part. Oman will feel that they have missed a trick here. Despite the wickets, they have dished out too many boundary balls, and that has hurt them. They have to execute their plans better in the remaining overs and restrict their opponents to as low as possible. Also, Jiten Ramanandi is to bowl after the break.
