Ireland are on a roll this T20 World Cup. After beating two-time T20 World Cup champions West Indies in the Group Stage, the Irish beat 2022 favourites England in another huge upset on Wednesday. After being restricted to 157 all out in their 20 overs, Ireland put up a bowling masterclass to put England on a tightrope at 105/5 in 14.3 overs. Rain gods smiled on Ireland who won the match by 5 runs according to Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.
England’s dismal performance and Ireland’s mighty showing quickly fuelled a memefest on Twitter. Several former cricketers also joined in, including the likes of Virender Sehwag, Amit Mishra and Wasim Jaffer.
“With some help fro mm rain off course but Ireland beating England by 5 runs,” Virender Sehwag wrote with a meme on Twitter.

“Congratulations @cricketireland on a massive victory. Hope England doesn’t say winning through DLS isn’t in the spirit of the game,” Amit Mishra tweeted with a laughing emoji and a meme.
