Australia defeated Ireland by 23 runs under the Duckworth/Lewis method for rain interrupted matches in their lone one-day international, in Belfast, on Friday.
An opening stand of 139 between David Warner (84) and Joe Burns (69) gave the Aussies, fresh from their Ashes defeat, the foundation for a big score.
Ireland, set a revised target of 181 in 24 overs were dismissed for 157 in 23.4 overs, with Nathan Coulter-Nile taking three for 13 and Pat Cummins two for 19.
Man-of-the-match Warner Warner top-scored with 84 and fellow opener Joe Burns made 69 on ODI debut in what was Steven Smith's first match as full-time Australia captain following the retirement of Michael Clarke.
