Ireland batsman Ed Joyce praises Alex Cusack's "cool head" after the bowler took two wickets in the final over of their five-run win over Zimbabwe.

Ed Joyce has said that he is glad that Alex Cusack was bowling the last over for Ireland in their Cricket World Cup win over Zimbabwe earlier today.

The bowler claimed two wickets in the 50th over to hand Ireland a five-run victory in Hobart, giving them their third win of the tournament.

Joyce, who was the team's top run-scorer with 112, told BBC Sport: "We certainly did need those all runs playing a team with three spinners and three medium pacers.

"We knew we'd have to bowl and field well to defend that target. I thought the boys did really well at the end to hold it together.

"Alex Cusack has got a cool head, a great guy to have bowling that last over. I'm glad he was the one bowling at the end there with Will Porterfield under that last catch."

The result leaves Ireland fourth in the Pool B standings on six points.
