Latest Ireland Cricket Team Vs Pakistan National Cricket Team Match Scorecard to get more updated about cricket prediction.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam made a patient unbeaten 32 to guide his team to victory against Ireland at Central Broward Stadium during their final match of an unsatisfying tournament. Hitting two sixes, Babar managed to help his side overcome an early collapse from Ireland and seal their win with ease.

Shaheen delivers his final over, full and wide on middle that beats Rizwan’s outside edge for a boundary.

Babar Azam

Babar Azam has made quite an impression as Pakistan’s new captain. At only 22 years old, this power hitting batsman has shown impressive displays of both power hitting and strategic batting for his side. Backed by former England captain Michael Vaughan he appears destined for great things in cricket.

Babar starts the innings off against Gareth Delany with a single, and after moving them from 13-2 to 14-3 in the 18th over he sends it sailing over the deep fence for a six to propel Pakistan closer towards victory.

Pakistan batsmen are making light work of this chase on an extremely challenging surface. Shaheen Afridi and Abbas Afridi have helped set them up with some powerful strokes.

Afridi castled Andy Balbirnie before having Lorcan Tucker caught behind two balls later. Afridi then trapped Harry Tector lbw as Ireland struggled to keep up with Pakistan’s run rate. Though their fielders rallied with some fine fielding performances, this early collapse ultimately cost them their match against Pakistan. Ireland Captain Paul Stirling admitted his side didn’t play their best cricket but took positives out of a tough tournament campaign thanks to loyal crowd support he believes must elevate their game in order to compete with some of the world’s finest teams.

Mohammad Rizwan

Mohammad Rizwan started Pakistan off right. His steady runs helped pave the way and took advantage of missed chances by Irish wicketkeeper Litton Das.

The new batsman is doing very well as he continues taking boundaries at an impressive rate, having already passed 150 and making strong progress towards reaching double figures.

Rizwan is on fire right now as his batsmanship moves him towards 97 off 65 balls! Irish fans are loving it as Rizwan scores four more runs off another fuller ball from middle.

McCarthy to Ayub: Out! McCarthy manages to secure an early breakthrough as Ayub attempts to play on his backfoot but edges it straight to the keeper instead of keeping.

Gareth Delany and Mark Adair shared an important 32-run partnership for Ireland to keep them competitive, but couldn’t stop Pakistan’s run chase as poor fielding by Ireland and Abbas Afridi/Babar Azam’s runs prevented any substantial breakthrough. Ireland need a spectacular upset against India to qualify for round 2, something not impossible but certainly will require their batters’ dedication if they want any chance at qualifying for round two.

Saim Ayub

Saim Ayub is an exceptionally gifted left-handed batsman who made his international debut against Afghanistan in March 2023. With such a bright future ahead, Ayub can help Ireland develop their batting game significantly.

His style will fit right in with the Irish team and has extensive franchise cricket experience from having competed in several different leagues.

Pakistan are on the chase in Florida to reach their target of 107 runs. Josh Little opens for Ireland and hit one from Shaheen Afridi over long-on for six, to get things underway and set the target.

Haris Rauf takes over for Afridi in the final over. He starts with a short ball which Curtis Campher mistimes for four, brushing his thigh pads instead and reaching the keeper; two singles close out the over.

Shaheen Afridi

Shaheen Afridi bowled beautifully and took three wickets to help Pakistan secure a consolation victory against Ireland in an insignificant World Cup match. The left-arm quick was instrumental in restricting Ireland to 106-9 after they elected to bat first; castled opener Andy Balbirnie with his trademark in-swinging yorker third ball before picking off Lorcan Tucker two balls later; Imad Wasim (3/8) and Haris Rauf (2/17) also contributed significantly in slowing Ireland down considerably.

Afridi then struck a decisive blow against Ireland in the final over. He sent down a full delivery that Curtis Campher attempted to swing at, only for it to be caught at leg slip.

Pakistan’s chase was never going to be easy after their early setback and never did. Due to some poor batting and missed opportunities with the bat, any progress towards Irish total was difficult for Pakistan. Amir and Rizwan’s strong partnership in the middle overs ensured their side remained under control; Ireland captain Paul Stirling acknowledged his side had not played anywhere near their best level; therefore they must improve in future competitions in order to compete effectively.

Imad Wasim

Ireland have finished last in Group A in Florida without winning and have been eliminated from Super 8s contention as a result of this defeat. Pakistan fared much better as their bowlers made short work of Ireland’s top order – Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam held things together after the loss of Saim Ayub early on in the match.

FOUR! Azam hit an explosive drive through mid off to score his fourth boundary. An Irish fielder attempted to catch it but couldn’t reach it in time.

Ireland suffered their second wicket in the 15th over, when Mark Adair attempted to cut Imad Wasim’s short ball but failed as Amir took advantage of an open wicket by taking an easy catch at short leg.

Irish captain Stephen O’Meara expressed disappointment with how his wickets fell but applauded his batters for showing courage during their chase for victory. O’Meara stated it was an excellent start to their summer and they will now focus on practicing to improve before taking on Bangladesh in their next match.

Haris Rauf

Ireland batsmen struggled through most of their innings against Pakistan but Joshua Little and Gareth Delany scored rapid unbeaten runs to give Ireland hope of making up ground, but Pakistan won by 3 wickets.

Babar Azam struck first, dispatching Paul Stirling with an in-swinging yorker in the third over. Mohammad Amir then removed Lorcan Tucker two balls later before stunning Harry Tector with another similar ball from Amir.

Shaheen Afridi’s spell continued to exert pressure on Ireland batters, who failed to take advantage of an early breakthrough. Despite some slipperiness in fielding, Ireland lower order made a valiant effort in an effort to save the game.

“IRE OUT!” – with one powerful shot from Joshua Lettier, Shaheen Afridi’s slower ball was sent soaring over Long-On for a SIX! A thorough review confirmed this decision by the umpire.

Shahzad Ahmed

Pakistan Captain Babar Azam top scored with 32 as his team held on to defeat Ireland in their final group stage game at Central Broward Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida. Gareth Delany scored 31 as Ireland reached 106-9 before Azam bowled and Shaheen Afridi provided wickets that helped Pakistan secure a three-wicket win.

Pakistan batted first on a damp pitch laced with raindrops that was uneven and offered some bounce. Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Amir shared early wickets; Amir had Paul Stirling caught behind for a duck after one of his signature in-swinging yorkers, before trapping Lorcan Tucker lbw two balls later. Imad Wasim then removed Delany via one-handed catch at short third man before Mohammad Amir got Josh Little caught at long-on.
