That's all we have for you from this match. India, despite their loss to England in their previous game, reach the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup with a win over Ireland via the DLS method in a rain-marred contest. Just to recap things in this game, India had posted 155/6 on the back of Smriti Mandhana's 87, and Ireland were 54/2 in 8.2 overs when rain Gods arrived. They were five runs short of India's DLS score, which was 59, and no more play possible meant Ireland bowed out of the tournament with four defeats in as many matches. We will be back with LIVE coverage of India's semi-final match. Until then, it's goodbye, and good night!
