Ireland finished the group stages of the European T10s with wins over the Czech Republic and Portugal.

Ireland showed their strength in depth as they beat the Czech Republic by 28 runs in Thursday's morning game.

They rotated the opening pair with Cameron Melly and Jared Wilson showing their power as they both hit half centuries. Melly top-scored with 59 from 21 balls, (5 fours, 6 sixes), sharing an opening stand of 80 in 5.2 overs with the skipper.

Wilson's 59 took 24 balls (5 fours, 4 sixes), while John Matchett also made an unbeaten 16 in their 141 for 3. The Irish gave their fringe bowlers an opportunity, with Jamie Forbes taking 3 for 21 and John McNally 1 for 11, but Cian Robertson took some serious punishment from Tomar (39) and Bhuiyan (30).

Matthew Humphreys (3-22) again showed his class, while skipper Wilson completed a fine all-round display claiming 2 for 16 in their 28-run win.

The victory ensures a top-two finish and therefore two chances at making Friday's final.

Ireland completed the group phase with an emphatic nine-wicket win over Portugal. Cian Robertson came back well from his earlier mauling to claim three wickets for just six runs, as Ireland's left-arm ploy continued to play dividends.

Jamie Forbes and skipper Jared Wilson also took two wickets each as Portugal were restricted to just 71 for 8 - Conrad Greenshields top-scoring with 24.

The modest target proved little trouble to Pete Johnston's young charges, who yet again juggled their batting to allow middle-time to John Matchett and Cam Melly ahead of Friday's finals day.

Matchett hit 5 fours and 3 sixes in his unbeaten 44 from just 18 balls, sharing an opening stand of 66 with Melly (22).

The win ensured Ireland top the group, meaning they have the safety net of a second opportunity to reach the final, should they lose Friday's morning first match against hosts Spain (10:30am).
