    What's the story

    Pakistan bow out of the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup with a win against Ireland in Florida.

    Pakistan evaded another upset after chasing down a paltry 107.

    The Babar Azam-led side suffered a middle-order collapse, but the skipper held his nerve to get home. Ireland's Barry McCarthy took three wickets.

    Notably, both Pakistan and Ireland have been eliminated from the tournament.

    Shaheen Afridi ran through Ireland's top order after they were invited to bat. Mohammad Amir also joined Shaheen in the demolition as Ireland were 32/5 in the Powerplay.

    Gareth Delany and Mark Adair took Ireland past 70 from 32/6, but Imad Wasim broke the partnership by dismissing the duo.

    Joshua Little added a valuable 22* as Ireland scored 106/9 in 20 overs.

    While skipper Babar held one end, Fakhar Zaman, Usman Khan, Shadab Khan, and Imad departed in single figures.

    Pakistan plunged from 39/1 to 62/6 in the 11th over. Babar returned unbeaten, while Shaheen sealed the deal with two sixes.

    Pacer Barry McCarthy was the pick of Ireland's bowlers in the match. He took three wickets for just 15 runs in four overs, including a maiden.

    McCarthy's twin wickets of Usman Khan and Shadab Khan in the 10th over turned the tide for Ireland. That was a double-wicket maiden.

    Notably, McCarthy recorded his career-best bowling figures at the T20 World Cup.

    Totals

    Ireland's fourth-lowest T20 WC total

    Ireland's 106/9 is now their fourth-lowest total in T20 World Cups. This was only behind 68 (vs WI, Providence, 2010), 96 (vs IND, New York, 2024), and 101 (vs SL, Abu Dhabi, 2021).

    Notably, Ireland also registered the fifth-lowest total against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. They join Netherlands, New Zealand, and Canada on this list.

    Shaheen, Imad

    Shaheen dismissed Andrew Balbirnie and Lorcan Tucker in the first over.

    The left-arm seamer then removed Harry Tector to bring Ireland down to 15/4. Shaheen conceded 22 runs in four overs.

    Ireland eventually plunged to 32/6 before Delany and Adair propelled them past 70.

    Imad dismissed the duo besides getting rid of Barry McCarthy. He conceded eight runs in four overs.
