Riding on centuries from Balbirnie and Stirling, Ireland chased down a mammoth target of 329 with one ball to spare. The visitors also grabbed 10 crucial points in the Cricket World Cup Super League.
Set a target of 329 — the same score they finished on to beat England at the 2011 World Cup — the Irish laid the foundations with a 214-run stand between Stirling and captain Balbirnie in the last match of the series.
Andrew Balbirnie has been handed the captaincy in T20Is, thus assuming the role of a skipper in all the three formats for Ireland.
Both teams are competing in only their second Test match since gaining Test status in 2017.
The batsman has said that this knock will give him tremendous confidence going ahead in the series.
