After a series of weather disruptions, the improved conditions finally allowed some play, with Pakistan winning the toss and opting to bowl.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Match Context</h3><p>This game was crucial for both teams despite their elimination from the Super Eight stage. The washout between USA and Ireland had sealed the host nation’s progress, leaving Pakistan and Ireland playing for pride. For Pakistan, led by Babar Azam, and Ireland, it was a chance to end their World Cup journey on a high note.</p><p>See Also: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/bcci-to-name-gautam-gambhir-as-new-head-coach-of-india-by-june-end-report">BCCI to name Gautam Gambhir as new head coach of India by June end: Report</a></p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Team Line-ups and Changes</h3><p><strong>Pakistan</strong> made a significant change to their XI, bringing in fast bowler Abbas Afridi for his first game of the tournament, replacing Naseem Shah. This move aimed to bolster their pace attack.</p><p><strong>Ireland</strong>, on the other hand, introduced Ben White in place of Craig Young. Both teams were eager to test new combinations and players in this final fixture.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">First Innings: Ireland’s Batting</h3><p>Ireland’s innings began on a shaky note. The Pakistani bowlers, especially the left-arm speedsters Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Amir, were relentless. Shaheen struck early, reducing Ireland to a precarious position. By the end of the powerplay, Ireland found themselves at a dire 28/5, struggling to cope with the Pakistani pace.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistan’s Bowling Performance</h3><p><strong>Shaheen Afridi</strong> was the star of the show, picking up three crucial wickets. His ability to swing the ball both ways made it difficult for the Irish batsmen to settle.</p><p><strong>Mohammad Amir</strong> also chipped in with two important wickets, maintaining pressure from the other end. Haris Rauf and Imad Wasim played their parts effectively, with Imad adding three wickets to his tally and Rauf picking one.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ireland’s Score Analysis</h3><p>Despite their early setbacks, Ireland managed to claw their way to 106, thanks to some resistance from the lower order. <strong>Gareth Delany</strong> and <strong>Mark Adair</strong> provided some stability with a 44-run partnership, with Delany striking three maximums to lift the score. Joshua Little’s quick 22 at the end ensured Ireland crossed the 100-run mark. Although the pitch was challenging, 107 appeared to be an achievable target for Pakistan.</p><p><strong>Highest scores by No.10 batter in T20 WCs</strong><br>24 – Paul V Meekeren (NED) vs BAN, Hobart, 2022<br>22* – B McCarthy (IRE) vs ZIM, Hobart, 2022<br>22* – Josua Little (IRE) vs PAK, Lauderhill, 2024*<br>22 – Hamid Hasan (AFG) vs SA, Bridgetown, 2010</p><p><strong>Lowest totals for IRE in T20 WCs</strong><br>68 vs WI, Providence, 2010<br>96 vs IND, New York, 2024<br>101 vs SL, Abu Dhabi, 2021<br>106/9 vs PAK, Lauderhill, 2024*</p><p><strong>Lowest totals against PAK in T20 WCs</strong><br>91/9 by NED, Perth, 2022<br>93 by NED, Lord’s, 2009<br>99 by NZ, The Oval, 2009<br>106/7 by CAN, New York, 2024<br>106/9 by IRE, Lauderhill, 2024*</p><p><strong>– 3/8(4) by Imad Wasim is the fewest runs conceded by a Pakistan bowler in a 4-over spell in a T20 World Cup match.</strong></p>]]></content:encoded>
