Match lorcan tucker

Match Lorcan Tucker: Ireland captain and Player of the Match Lorcan Tucker said that his side's positive attitude helped them register a commanding 96-run win over Oman in their third match of the T20 World Cup 2026 at the Sinhalese Sports Club on Saturday.

Coming off a disappointing outing in their previous game, Ireland bounced back in style, posting 235/5 in 20 overs before bowling Oman out for 139 in 18 overs. Tucker led from the front with an unbeaten 94, narrowly missing out on a century as later Joshua Little picked 3-16 to seal an emphatic victory.

“Previous game wasn’t one of our best days. Things didn’t work out for us, but we just turned it around and played with positivity today. We knew they were a good side. We’ve played against them before and we haven’t always beaten them. They’re competitive. It’s important to respect your opposition,” Tucker said after the match.
