Cricket Ireland hilariously mocks Ravi Bopara over tweet praising England, netizens react

England are a step away from lifting the T20 World Cup for the second time. The Jos Buttler-led side eliminated India in the semi-final in a roaring 10-wicket win. Ahead of their summit game against Pakistan, former England cricketer Ravi Bopara enthusiastically praised England in an extravagant tweet. 

“Great performance and display of power and ruthlessness from England. There’s only one team that can actually challenge England and that is Pakistan. Otherwise If England could enter a 2ndXI in the #T20Iworldcup2022 it would be a England v England2XI Final. #fact #milesahead,” Bopara tweeted.

While Bopara was excited and over the top in his comments, it did not go unnoticed by Cricket Ireland. Ireland had made England taste defeat by 5 runs (by DLS method) in the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup 2022 back on October 26. 

Cricket Ireland just couldn’t resist and had a hilariously response to Bopara’s gloating tweet:
