Phew… that was a close one!
The Ireland cricket team left it extremely late to seal a win against Zimbabwe in the Cricket World Cup. The Irish built up a big lead due to some superb batting in the early hours of the morning. However, Zimbabwe made a huge comeback to close the gap, and in the end only lost by just five runs.
Understandably, the good folk on social media nearly had heart palpitations while transfixed on a massively entertaining finish to the match. Here’s a selection of the best reactionary tweets to a dramatic win by the Boys In Green.
