He sent back Andy Balbirnie and Lorcan Tucker in the first over of the match. Ireland’s skipper, Paul Stirling, got out in the second over, and the Irish batting line-up started crumbling.

T20 World Cup 2024 Match 36: Ireland vs Pakistan| Captains’ Corner

“Think so, played well I patches, start of the day didn’t go terribly well, they put pressure on us early on. Proud of the fight we’ve shown, 30 for 5 to get that score, wasn’t too far away. It’s getting that balance right. T20 we probably haven’t got that this time around. It’s been a difficult couple of weeks, go back regroup and see if we can come back stronger.”

Paul Stirling(Ireland Captain) said post-match

“Yes we finished well, we took early wickets with the ball. With the bat we didn’t finish well. Lost back to back wickets, got over the line in the end. I think with the bowling, conditions suit our bowlers, in batting few mistakes in USA, India matches, when you lose wickets pressure is on you. Let’s see, what team needs, I’ll be okay with it. Have a good bunch of players, we’ve to go home, chat and see where we lacked, and then come back. Couldn’t finish off close games, as a team we weren’t good as a team.”

Babar Azam(Pakistan Captain) said post-match
