For Ireland, veteran Andy Balbirnie scored 77 runs off 55 balls with the help of 10 fours and two sixes as they successfully chased down the target of 183/6 with one ball to spare after restricting Pakistan to 182/6 in 20 overs. .
This Pakistani team is coming out of a strange series in which they had to play a 2-2 draw against the second-ranked team of New Zealand at home. Their poor run continues as the team lost embarrassingly against Ireland, a tie which they had to face in the group stage of the competition with India, United States and Canada in Group A.
“When we try to play good cricket we will get better. Players should think about the team and if the situation remains like this then we will keep losing. I see that players are giving priority to individual goals which is not good for the team. "The team management will identify it soon," Akmal said on his YouTube channel Catch and Bat with Akmal.
Akmal's comments may have stemmed from the performance of Babar Azam who scored 57 runs in 4 balls, following the captain's innings which was criticized for playing at a slow strike rate of 132.5. It took the Irish team 19.5 overs to chase the target of 183 runs, which is why the question arose whether the Pakistan team could have added 10-15 more runs while setting the target.
Credit must be given to the strong Irish team as they performed exceptionally well to achieve big wins in their preparation for the World Cup. Such a big win will definitely boost the team's morale as they look set to challenge India and Pakistan for the top two spots in their group.
