In a thrilling encounter at the Central Broward Regional Park in Florida, Babar Azam‘s stellar performance led Pakistan to a nail-biting victory over Ireland in the T20 World Cup 2024.
The match saw Babar Azam, the Pakistani skipper, showcase brilliant captaincy by steering his team to a 3-wicket win against a challenging Irish side.
Winning the toss and opting to field first, Pakistan’s bowlers, including Shaheen Afridi and Imad Wasim, displayed exceptional skill by restricting Ireland to a score of 106/9.
Meanwhile, Ireland’s batting lineup struggled under Pakistan’s bowling attack but managed to put up a fight in the later stages of their innings.
Chasing a modest total, Pakistan initially faced a few hiccups during their run chase. However, Babar Azam’s resilient unbeaten knock of 32 runs ensured Pakistan’s victory, averting a possible upset in the tournament.
Shaheen Afridi’s late flurry of sixes also played a crucial role in securing the win for Pakistan and concluding their T20 World Cup campaign on a positive note.
