Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

Ireland have been one of the highlights of the World Cup so far, and Pakistan have been one of the disappointments. Most would expect Pakistan to get back on target today, but after Ireland's first match, they'll be feeling confident.

It's St. Patty's Day, and the Irish will need all the help and luck they can muster if they're going to have a chance today.

I hope they bought their 4 leaf clovers along :)
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

Ireland JP Bray, WTS Porterfield, EJG Morgan, NJ O'Brien, AC Botha, KJ O'Brien, WK McCallan, DT Johnston, AR White, D Langford-Smith, WB Rankin


Pakistan Mohammad Hafeez, Imran Nazir, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Shoaib Malik, Kamran Akmal, Mohammad Sami, Azhar Mahmood, Iftikhar Anjum, Umar Gul



Ireland won the toss and will bowl first. Should be a good decision, as it looks like it will be a tough pitch to bat on.
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

IRELAND!!

Langford-Smith gets Hafeez at the end of the first over!

Pakistan 7-1 after 1
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

Younis out for a duck!

Pakistan 15-2 after 3.3
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

And there might be more wickets to come still for Ireland, because frankly Nazir hasn't looked like the world's best batsman out there. I'd be surprised if he lasted for another 15 or 20 overs.
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

Yousuf gone for 15!

Pakistan 56-3


Yousuf will be disappointed that he didn't do better today. He knows he should outclass everyone on the other side.
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

Inzi gone for one!!

Pakistan 60-4 after 15 overs.


Ireland have a real chance to bowl them out here.
(And I can't believe Nazir is still hanging around.)
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

Botha finally gets Imran Nazir!!

Pakistan 66-5 after 18 overs.
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

Malik gone for 9

Pakistan 72-6 after 20.3 and surely Ireland will bowl them out now!
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

Great economical stuff from the Irish here.

Pakistan 75-6 from 24.
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

Azhar Mahmood gone, and now Johnston takes an OUTSTANDING catch to dismiss Kamran Akmal! It was a superb effort.

Pakistan 105-8
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

St. Patrick's Day has started brilliantly for me today! Being half-Irish, I'm pulling for them like I am for Canada! Brilliant stuff here!
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

125-8 after 39

a decent little partnership from Sami and Rao Iftikhar so far, just tying to hang on
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

the partnership has been broken, Sami is finally out


Pakistan 130-9 after 43.1
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

Pakistan all out for 132 after 45.3!


Great job by the Irish bowlers and fielders.
Now they just need to complete the job with their bats.
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

Bray out early lbw

Ireland 7-1


Hawkeye says it would have missed!
 
Re: Group D - Ireland v Pakistan

My goodness, one of the top teams out for less than 150 runs!!. Good for the Irish, I hope they can beat them on behalf of the associates
