Right then that's it from the final game of Group A and it is India and USA that advance through it. Pakistan ends the tournament on a winning note while Ireland goes home winless. The action continues from the ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup with Bangladesh set to play Nepal in a key game of Group D at the Arnos Vale Ground, Arnos Vale, St Vincent on 17th June 2024 at 5 AM IST (11.30 PM GMT, Previous day). You can always join us an hour early for the build-up. Until then cheers and stay safe.
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan says that they finished well but feels that after taking early wickets, they didn't capitalize and even with the bat they didn't finish quite well and had to depend on tailenders. Adds that with the bowl they were good and there were a few mistakes with the bat in a few games and that hurt them. On him batting at number 3, he says that if the team needs him to open or bat at number 3, he will do whatever the team needs. Adds that they have a bit of a break and then a series at home which they will be eager to do well in and ends by saying that there have been positives in the tournament but as a team, they didn't play well.
The losing skipper of Ireland, Paul Stirling is up for a quick chat. He says they played well in patches after not starting well and closing the batting innings well to back that up with a bowling performance as such it give a lot of boost to the side. Adds that they were far from playing their best cricket and that's the reason why they are out of the tournament. Also adds that it's been a couple of weeks full of difficulty but they'll look to take positives and bounce back soon.
Shaheen Afridi is the Player of the Match for his stellar bowling and a crucial couple of sixes at the end as well. He starts by saying that the wicket supported the new ball and they looked to hit the good areas. Adds that every bowler is different and generally prefers to bowl fuller. Mentions that they haven't played good cricket which is demanded of them and they have to improve and get better. Ends by saying that the crowd always supports them and thanks them for sticking around even in times of difficulty.
Time for the presentation...
Earlier in the game, after being asked to bat first the Irish innings got off to the worst possible start as they lost 5 wickets inside the powerplay. The side struggled big time at 32 for 7 but the last 3 wickets added 74 crucial runs and gave their side some chance to fight for it. Joshua Little, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair and George Dockrell were the only batters to get into the double figure while others just came and went. Imad Wasim was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up 3 and gave away just 8 runs off his 4 overs. Shaheen Afridi too picked up 3 while Mohammad Amir took a couple and Haris Rauf took 1.
Bowling from Ireland was good a bit sluggish to start with but they were splendid in the middle phase. Barry McCarthy was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up 3 wickets for 15 from his 4 overs while Curtis Campher took a couple as well. Mark Adair and Ben White took one wicket each too. With seam options running out, they were forced to bowl spin at the death and Gareth Delany even made things interesting with the wicket of Abbas Afridi but by then, just a couple of big hits were needed and the opposition managed to get them.
Chasing down a low total, Pakistan were off to a watchful start as they scored 40 off the powerplay and lost just 1 wicket. The batters struggled in the middle phase and the Asian side lost wickets in a cluster as they lost 5 wickets of 23 in the middle phase. Babar Azam along with Abbas Afridi knitted a key partnership of 33 runs for the 7th wicket and brought the game closer to their grasp. In the end, it took Shaheen Afridi to close the game with a couple of maximums and ease off things for Pakistan. Babar Azam was the top scorer with a score of 32 while Abbas Afridi too played a good hand of 17.
Another low-scoring thriller and it took a gritty knock from Babar Azam to help his side cross the line. Pakistan ends their campaign on a winning note as they get past Ireland with a victory by 3 wickets.

Gareth Delany brings out the googly and floats it up outside off stump, Shaheen Afridi swings hard at it but cue ends it and the ball goes quickly over first slip where Paul Stirling gets a hand on it but cannot hang on.

Ben White To Abbas Afridi OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Spin has done the trick here and Ben White picks up a huge wicket. This is flighted up but on a dragged length on middle stump. Abbas Afridi skips down the track but doesn't quite get to the pitch of the ball and forces the lofted shot very high towards long on. There's not enough power on it and the substitute fielder, Ross Adair settles under it to take a fine catch under pressure. Still, 12 needed and Pakistan have three wickets in hand. Also, Shaheen Afridi walks out to bat now.

Ben White To Abbas Afridi
Floated up full and outside off stump, Abbas Afridi gets a big stride across the off stump looking to pull it fine but misses. He gets struck on the pads and there is a bit of an appeal for LBW which is turned down. Paul Stirling though reviews it in hopes off a miracle. The third umpire is called in and there's no bat involved as confirmed by UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows the impact as outside the line of off stump. It stays NOT OUT and Ireland have lost both their reviews.

Beaten! This one is looped up full and around off stump, Abbas Afridi looks to drive but it is too full and gets beaten. The keeper pouches it safely and after a bit of confusion, Paul Stirling sends it upstairs to check if there was a nick or not. The first replay shows that the bat hit the ground and the ball went past the inside edge and then UltraEdge confirms that there was no edge on it. NOT OUT!

It seemed to be a bump ball but the umpires have sent it upstairs. The replays roll in and it looks like the ball took the inside edge, bounced and then lobbed up off the boot and NOT OUT comes up on the big screen.

Drinks break! Well then, the game is pretty evenly poised at the moment and Pakistan will be wondering how they got themselves in such a position here. They did a decent job in the Powerplay and seemed to be cruising but lost quick wickets and the Irish bowlers are now growing in confidence. With half the side down, everything now depends on skipper Babar Azam to get his side out of this hole. Ireland will now believe they can wrap things up quickly if they get one more wicket here. Let's see how this game eventually pans out.

OUT! Another brilliant catch and Fakhar Zaman has to walk back. Pitched up outside off, Fakhar Zaman looks to loft this over mid off but Ross Adair moves well to his right and takes a good catch timing his jump to perfection.
The umpire gives the Irish skipper, Paul Stirling for not starting the next over in 60 seconds and right after that, Joshua Little struggles in his run-up and seems to be suffering from cramps. The physio is out to have a look and we have a slight delay. Little was seen holding his right calf and is now walking off the pitch. Little was about to come back into the attack but now it will be Curtis Campher who will bowl in his place.
