    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Hamilton, March 10 (IANS)&nbsp;Ireland skipper William Porterfield on Tuesday said India made it look easy with the bat as they beat his side with eight wickets and 79 balls to spare in a Pool B encounter at the Seddon Park here.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIreland at one point of time looked liked getting a score of in excess of 300. But they were pulled back by pace spearhead Mohammed Shami (3-41) and spinners Ravindra Jadeja (1-45) and Ravichandran Ashwin (2\/38). Ireland were eventually bowled out for 259. India chased the total down quite easily, losing only two wickets en route.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&ldquo;You have to give a lot of credit to them, kept fighting and coming back, and made it look very easy with the bat. (Ashwin) bowled very well, mixed his pace very well, there was a bit of grip as well. We just lost a couple of wickets and that set us back,&rdquo; Porterfield said at the post-match presentation ceremony.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe skipper added there are a lot of positives that they have taken from the game, and is hopeful of beating Pakistan in a &ldquo;winner takes it all&rdquo; game in Adelaide on March 15.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;There&#39;s a lot of good things to take especially the first innings. It&#39;s all about being mentally fresh for that game in Adelaide, it&#39;s a winner takes all for us,&quot; he concluded.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
