Amir, Imad and Shaheen stop Ireland to 106, but middle-order collapse comes back to haunt them before captain sees ship home
As Pakistan T20 world cup team quickly went about damaging Ireland with the help of their pacers. Pakistan have hit such depths at T20 World cup 2024 that things could go up. But during their chase of 107 yesterday, at 62/6, new lows were in sight before skipper Babar Azam, who kept getting rebuked for his slow approach, played a characteristic knock, dropping anchor to oversee a stormy period and take the team home.
Three-wicket win at Florida, in this unimportant fixture said everything about Pakistan in the shortest format of cricket. After playing Caribbean premier League they arrived at the world cup which was supposed to give them an edge, but Pakistan are now headed back to home, without even getting a chance to set foot on the Caribbean islands.
