PAK vs IRE Match Highlights And Report T20 WC: Shaheen Afridi brought his best against Ireland, albeit it’s come too late for Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 as they had already been eliminated before this game.
As PAK vs IRE Match Highlights And Report T20 WC 2024. Any salvation that they seemed to be taking from a potentially convincing win when they began their chase of 107 was lost when they were in a threat of fluff this small chase as well.
Led by Shaheen, the Pakistani bowlers restricted Ireland to 106 at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida. In the chase, Pakistan gave another shockingly hilarious collapse to the world, losing five wickets for 23 runs in the middle, but skipper Babar Azam remained not out while some hits from Abbas Afridi and Shaheen helped Pakistan get over the line and their tournament with a win.

Babar won the toss and elected to bowl first. Shaheen was on the money right from the first over as he knocked over Andy Balbirnie’s stumps and had Lorcan Tucker outside-edging to Rizwan, all in the first over. In his second over, he had Harry Tector lbw.
From the other end, Mohammad Amir was equally potent, getting Paul Stirling, the Ireland skipper, to edge to Rizwan and foxing George Dockrell to give a return catch with a slower ball. Ireland were five down inside the powerplay.
They then lost more wickets to other bowlers. Haris Rauf bounced out Curis Campher, while Imad Wasim got on a roll to finish with three wickets to his name.
Ireland got some boost in terms of runs from Gareth Delany, who scored 31 runs, Mark Adair, who scored 15 runs, and from a few late hits from Josh Little, who hit 2 fours and a six in his 22* (18) knock.
