Pak Vs Ire

[CoverDrive]

Pak likely to go through even if they lose

I can see Ireland winning but Pakistan go through anyway

How will Pakistan go through if they lose even in a close contest. Ireland will qualify with 8 and WI will edge us out on NRR because they will probably smash UAE.

windies will go home ..

Pakistan should beat Ireland. But then again, this is Pakistan we are talking about :winky: Should rest one of the quicks and play Yasir Shah. Haris Sohail should also play if fit. If Ireland bat first and make anything in excess of 260, Pakistan could find themselves in trouble.

WI won't smash UAE anyway, they will win but they have a stack of NRR to make up.

WI won't smash UAE anyway' date=' they will win but they have a stack of NRR to make up.[/quote'] They smashed Pakistan to pieces so they will easily smash UAE. I even won't be surprised d if Gayle scores double considering his minnow bashing ability

Ireland have no chance because they have a poor bowling lineup. Their only chance is if they can bat first, post 260-270 and try to put pressure on Pak but they dont have the bowling to defend even 300+.

^^ Ireland's bowling can't put pressure... Their only hope is to bowl first.. Try to keep Pak to less than 300 and try chasing it down... They have batting till No. 10

Pak seamers are good. No way can Ireland chase 270-280 under lights at Adelaide. Best option for them is bat first, try to score big and then put pressure by bowling and fielding as well as they can. Pak batsmen do have a tendency to fold under pressure while chasing.
