Brisbane, Feb 25 (IANS) An elated Ireland captain William Porterfield said after the victory over the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a Pool B World Cup contest here Wednesday that they have to keep their good performance going as they will face some tougher sides ahead.
Ireland managed to edge past the UAE's 278 with only four balls and two wickets in hand.
"It was nice to get a win here. Games will start coming thicker and faster, just have to keep up the performances," Porterfield, who scored 37 runs, said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
