The match started and ended with Shane Watson.A brilliant all round performance by Shane Watson helped Australia go past Ireland easily in their first World Cup T20 match held on 19/09/2012.Ireland won the toss and chose to bat but could not get off the hooks and only managed 123 runs which didn't quite challenge the Aussies and when they came out to bat Shane Watson tormented the Irish bowling and setup the foundation for an easy win for Australia before he was run out.The match was a bit slow but Shane Watson made it quite entertaining.
