‘We’re Quite Familiar With This As Irish People,’ Says Tucker After Ireland Crashes Out Of T20 World Cup 2026
T20 World Cup: Ireland captain Lorcan Tucker admitted his side was left disappointed after their T20 World Cup campaign ended following a rain-hit match against Ireland at the Pallekele International Stadium on Monday, saying such situations were 'quite familiar' for Irish people.
The washout brought bad news for Ireland, as they are also eliminated from the group stage. Ireland had a poor start to their campaign with two losses in their first two games, but they got back on track with a dominating 96-run win over Oman in the third match. They needed a big win against Zimbabwe to give themselves an outside chance to reach the Super 8 stage, but as the match was abandoned, the team finished their campaign with just three points.
“Yeah, something we’re quite familiar with as Irish people, I think. Obviously very disappointed to go out in this fashion, but completely uncontrollable and, yeah, just was what to expect today,” Tucker said after the match.
