IRELAND: Man-of-thematch Niall O’Brien warned Ireland’s other World Twenty20 opponents there was more to come from his side after they dumped Bangladesh out.
Wicketkeeper-batsman O’Brien top-scored in Ireland’s surprise six-wicket victory at Trent Bridge with 40 from 25 deliveries, including three sixes and three fours.
The result sends the seeded Tigers home at the earliest opportunity and ensures Irish qualification for the Super Eights stage.
Defending champions India are next up and O’Brien said: ‘‘We’ve already seen an upset at Lord’s against England (Holland).
‘‘We said in the last World Cup we’re not just here to make the numbers.
‘‘We want to win as many games as we can. We’ve got a real belief in the squad.
We’ve got a very talented bunch of players.’’
