The Irish team's batting proved to be a flop in this match and they could only score 106 runs at the loss of 9 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs. In this match, fast bowler Shaheen Afridi performed brilliantly for Pakistan and he pushed the opposition team on the backfoot by taking 2 wickets in his very first over. The Irish team could not win a single match in this World Cup, while the Pakistani team won two matches and lost two. Both India and USA have qualified from this group, while the Men in Green are out.

In this match, experienced spinner Imad Wasim bowled brilliantly for the team captained by Babar Azam and took 3 wickets for 8 runs in 4 overs. Apart from him, Afridi also bowled well and sent 3 batsmen to the pavilion for 22 runs in 4 overs. The result of the bowling of these two players was that the Irish team could score only 106 runs. Garth Denly scored the highest 31 runs for Ireland.

Looking at the target of 107 runs, it seemed that Babar and company would achieve it easily but it did not happen and they sweated while chasing this run. While chasing the small target, the Men in Green lost 5 wickets for 57 runs but the good thing for them was that captain Babar was standing at one end. Babar played an important innings of 32 not out off 34 balls in this match and led his team to victory. With this, he has finished his campaign at third place in the group stage points table.
