And finally, the match ended in a ‘Pakistan way’, as in the dead rubber game against Ireland in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 there have been many crest and trough produced by the Pakistan cricket team.
Pakistan initially did wonders with the ball, thanks to Shaheen Afridi and Mohammed Amir, whose bowling restricted Ireland to a score of 106. However, just like in previous encounters, where more than Pakistan’s bowling, their batting tumbled like flight turbulence as they lost six wickets for under 60 runs in the low-scoring match. This gave their fans subtle panic attacks as they don’t want a bad goodbye. But thanks to Babar Azam 32 (34) balls helped the team to win the easy game but surely in a ‘thrilling manner’.
Never a dull moment, even if it’s a dead rubber!
Since both Pakistan and Ireland are out of the tournament, especially Pakistan, who had a poor outing despite being favorites, it seems they haven’t performed well, and this game is a good example of that. Let’s see what people are saying after the ‘crest and trough’ performance by the Pakistan team.
