Pakistan vs Ireland Highlights – Super 8s

Pakistan Bat

Ireland Bat


Watch cricket highlights – Pakistan vs Ireland from the Super 8s of the 2009 T20 Cricket World Cup.

Scoreline: Pakistan 159/5 Kamran Akmal 57 (51), Shahid Afridi 24 (13) – Boyd Rankin 4-11-0
Ireland 120/9 Porterfield 40 (36) – Ajmal 4-19-4, Umar Gul 4-19-2, Aamer 4-19-1

The most interesting aspect of the Pakistan batting in the early part was the respect they gave the Irish bowling, without going bananas as they often can do. Afridi who’d played a responsible knock in the game vs NZ, looked to be getting back into some sort of batting form if not striking form. And that’s super for viewers considering Yuvraj’s exit yesterday. Think Hasan at the top and Razzaq to come is making the difference as Afridi no longer sees himself as the lone-hitter around and feels he can afford to work his way into form.

Ireland like against SL came up against a spin attack and pacers, their relative inexperience couldn’t really cope with. End of the Irish this year, but there are some players there, worth looking forward to whenever they next play international cricket. Until then, will miss their anthem played on a cricket field.

The big win by Pakistan today means their presence in the semis is no longer dependent on SL vs NZ tomorrow cos their NRR is better than SL now.

    I was bit surprised to see shoaib malik at no7 who is one of the best player in Pak Team, so here it explains how well their strength is in batting as well as bowling department. I think they are the perfect team to win this world cup, as they have performed against New Zealand….really deserve to be champions of 2009…

  5. why you guys making hope with pakistan. forget it. they dont deserve to play a good game. coz its not a sports it a politics. when they play big matches people buy them and they play exact like bought players.

    Kashi……..you have a nasty attitude and an even nasty language. If you must write something in English, try and get the language and spelling correct or else just write in one of your many languages that you have in your country

    its not a nasty attitude its reality.
    People lives in dream and fantasy and want to make expectation from other people. and by the way you are english teacher. so please correct my spelling and get the reward for that.

  10. Ismail

    Kashi……….I see and appreciate your change in attitude already. This is a forum for an open minded discussion. Using profanity really does no one any good. We all love cricket and that is the only reason we are here on this site.

  12. first i think to ALLAH.in my openion its totaly teamwork.During the match every paki player faught for wining.and finaly ALLAH gave them fruit of hardworking.

  13. i am also pakistani and i like that our country would be in front in every field. but these people are not sincere what they are doing. i bet you if pakistan would lose in semi final or either in final then you will see the people remarks on that. thats the only point i have that when we win we happy otherwise people attitude change in great rudeness. i have no quarrel with any one.

    Shoaib Malik doesn’t deserve a spot in the team. I am not sure why coach is not sending Fawad ahead of mishbah and Malik.
    Fawad Alam should be coming at 3rd or 4th in the order.

    01-Kamran Akmal
    02-Shahzaib Hasan Khan
    03-Abdul Razzaq

  16. Pakistan-Zindabad

    Hello,
    There is too much taasub and racesim in Pakistan aganist the people of Karachi(urdu speaking). Punjabies hate Javid Maindad, Rashid Latif, Faisal Iqbal, Khalid Latif, Khurram Manzoor, Fawad Alam, Sarfraz Ahmed and any other player from Karachi.

    *Sohail Khan, Younus Khan & Shahid Afridi are not urdu speaking, they just play cricket in Karachi*

    There are NO Urdu speaking in Police, Navy, Army, Air force, Rangers, coast guards.

  17. khaleel

    to pakistan-zindabad. pls dun drag this matters to cricket.we have to show other countries that we are strong.

  18. sameen

    @ Pakistan-Zindabad, you’ve written ur name as pakistan zindabad so don’t destroy our unity we’re all Paksitanis and we’re all happy that the teams is winning. and all this crap about players being bought is sad because we need something to be happy about and accusations like these dissappoint everbody!

    Its a moment of great pleasure as there 90 percent chances for Pakistan cricket team to quqlify in semi final matches.
    The most amazing news iz that India,the great warrior of Pakistan,is not qualified for semi final.
    I am really very glad to remember that.
    Now hope is raised for Pakistan to Qualify and then again to win in semifinal to play in final.
    Remeber our team in prayers.
    That is they severely need.
    Pakistan liveabad.

  21. Ismail

    How come this is becoming a debate on Pakistani Politics….We were hoping to have a healthy discussion on cricket and how well Pakistan has done so far…Think of how the Indians are feeling right now. I am now really optimistic of Pakistan making it to the finals.
    Afridi should open the batting. He plays fast bowling better than he plays spin

  22. please dont vast ttm pray for pakistan,,,,,,,bye

  23. IPLSUCKS

    i cant believe the person who said shoaib malik is th best player in the paki team, shoaib malik is probably the sh*ttest player in the team right now, he serves no purpose. he cant bowl, he cant bat. either put him in as an opener or just get rid of him, hes useless.

  24. stupid Pakistani’s don’t hope for winning. go enjoy your “dall” eat your “dall” in stay at your home LoL
