The defeat was a heartbreak for Ireland who beat Zimbabwe in their opening match but they failed to stop the rampaging Dutch led by Myburgh. Myburgh was in a punishing mood as he smashed three sixes in off-spinner Andy McBrine’s second over of the innings and then as many sixes and one boundary in one Alex Cusack’s over. He then brought up his second Twenty20 fifty in the event with a sweetly timed boundary off Tim Murtagh, off just 17 deliveries. The left-hander equalled the second fastest T20 fifty set by rival opener Paul Stirling, hit against Afghanistan in Dubai two years ago. The record for the fastest T20 fifty is held by India’s Yuvraj Singh who hit a 12-ball fifty against England in Durban in 2007. Myburgh, who smashed seven sixes and four bound- aries, finally holed out off George Dockrell at deep mid- wicket boundary with the total at 98. Cooper carried on from where Myburgh left off, hitting four sixes off Dockrell’s 11th over. Cooper’s innings had six sixes and a boundary. Winning captain Peter Borren felt for his rivals. “I am sad for Ireland,” said Borren. “They played very well for 2.5 games. It was Myburgh who set the scene. I am not really sure if I have seen cleaner hitting.” “We beat England in 2009 and that was a pretty special night. I will go back and sing the team song with the rest.” Ireland captain William Porterfield admitted his team fell short. — Agencies DHAKA: Pakistan’s batsman Umar Akmal (right) plays a shot as India’s captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni reacts during their ICC Twenty20 Cricket World Cup match in Dhaka, Bangladesh yesterday. — AP .

US forces in the region are “ready to go”, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said, as Washington and its European and Middle Eastern partners honed plans to punish Assad for a major poison gas attack last week that killed hundreds of civilians. Several sources who attended a meeting in Istanbul on Monday between Syrian opposition leaders and diplomats from Washington and other governments said that the rebels were told to expect military action and to get ready to negotiate a peace. “The opposition was told in clear terms that action to deter further use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime could come as early as in the next few days, and that they should still prepare for peace talks at Geneva,” one of the sources said. Ahmad Jarba, president of the Syrian National Coalition, met envoys from 11 states in the Friends of Syria group, including Robert Ford, the US ambassador to Syria, at an Istanbul hotel. United Nations chemical weapons investigators, who finally crossed the frontline to take samples on Monday, put off a second trip to rebel-held suburbs of Damascus.
