Match 16 -  Ireland vs United Arab Emirates - 25 Feb at Brisbane
   A good close game. The Shamrock Isles won the toss & put the UAE in to bat.
All but one of the top/middle order got a start, Anwar knocked up a century, a couple of 40's & a 36.
So 278 for 9 wickets with wickets shared around evenly amongst the bowlers.
   Ireland in reply were perhaps a touch more consistent with Wilson getting 80, K O'Brien a 50 & a couple of 37's. They finally reached the target in the last over with 8 wickets down. Win to Ireland !!

Match 17 -  Afghanistan vs Scotland - 26 Feb at Dunedin
   Another close game. The Afghanis won the toss & put the Scots in to bat.
Top score for the Tartans was 31 by two batsmen, and 4 managed 20's, all out for 210 in the last over.
   In reply, only 4 Afghans got in to double figures with opener Ahmadi making 51 & Shenwari 96, next best 15.
However they did manage to reach 211 for 9 in the last over. Win to Afghanistan !!

Match 18 -  Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka - 26 Feb at Melbourne
   Ok, Sri Lanka won the toss & decided to bat. Only 3 batsmen need, Thirimanne made 52, Dilshan 161 not out,  Sangakkara 105 not out. Final score 332 for 1 down.
   The Bangladeshis were under pressure early with the first wicket claimed in the first over & they continued to lose wickets on a regular basis. Finally all out for 240 in the 47th. Easy win to Sri Lanka !!

Match 19 -  South Africa vs West Indies - 27 Feb at Sydney
   Well, the Bokkies won the toss & decided to bat. Three 60's in the top order & then AB de Villiers unleashed a rapid 162 & that was pretty much that, 408 for 5 at the close.
   The WIndies were just never in the hunt, Gayle gone for 3 in the 2nd, none of the top/middle order amassing much, & a late 56 from Holder didn;t do much, all out for 151 in the 34th. Walk over win to South Africa !!
