They set the same score when they finished beating England at the 2011 World Cup, a 214-point stop between Stirling and captain Balbirnie laid the groundwork for the final fit of the Royal London series.
Stirling sold out for 142, while Balbirnie scored 113 with 50 still missing in 33 installments, however, Bangalore hero Kevin O’Brien did well to cross the line of the penultimate ball with seven lands left under the lights.
After being invited to win first, England had stuttered 44-for-three, however, Eoin Morgan’s 106 84-ball were the cornerstone of 328 all in 49.5 overs, with the captain sharing a 146-point position with Tom Banton.
Morgan, however, felt strained in his groin and limited himself to brief oversight, while Stirling and Balbirnie calmed complaints about Ireland’s first order after his underperformance in the first two days.
England beat the series winners 2-1, but Ireland, first restricting its opponents, Craig Young, taking 3 out of 53 and then keeping his composure with the bat, has its first ODI win on those shores.
Young represented Jason Roy in a third inning directly, then James Vince through the outer and inner edges, while Jonny Bairstow missed a Mark Adair return helmet and knocked him down through a pinch.
Morgan, returning to the same four-man position for the first time in the series, punished deliveries pitched with lavish direct training and at first was hit near the helmet, was a rare false step under the short ball as he fired with authority afterwards.
There were 3 monstrous six of Josh Little who dropped in ’67 through a Balbirnie diver in Midwicket in front of Andy McBrine, who stayed from a distance through Banton when the 21-year-old emerged from the shadow of his older spouse with some vigorous gunshots.
After switching to a fifty out of 41 balls, his first at foreign level, Morgan climbed 3 digits in 78 balls with his 14th 4. He would climb one more to accompany his 4 six before tipping Little to the back point, with the beginning of England. 190 to 3 to 216 times seven.
Banton was trapped with a plumb for 58 years through Gareth Delany’s part-time leg trick, while Moeen Ali and Sam Billings fit into the ring after the attacking edges of Curtis Campher and Young.
David Willey made sure the wheels didn’t fall and the assailant at a 73-point stop along Tom Curran, along with Adair and McBrine, was hit twice by the six-sided stretch in the direction of 38 fifty balls before retiring by 51. CurranArray 38 then assumed a duty to take England well beyond the 300.
But on simple ground, England, led by Moeen due to Morgan’s injury, was not lost sight of in any way and this was highlighted when Stirling took six consecutive numbers in a deep square metre of Saqib Mahmood.
Although Willey made the breakthrough by throwing Delany around his legs, there was no submission from Stirling, who used the sweep to take 3 sixes from Rashid after he overcame the 50. Balbirnie an ideal counterweight, avoiding any threat but proceeding to play more than a race to play its component in a union that extended beyond the 3 digits.
England was ready and combined its bowlers, but lacked avant-garde merit in the mid-overs. His cause was not helped when Vince gave him the chance to midwicket with Stirling at 95, after which the batter brought a ton of 96 balls at dusk.
Balbirnie went on to a century of career, with 12 ovens, and at that point it seemed that England would be defeated without problems, but the pace of racing suffocated and once the pair were eliminated, the nerves calmed down.
But Harry Tector (29 no) and O’Brien (21 no) controlled to lower the target to 8 from the final, and the latter saw them at home with one at Mahmood’s finish.
