Story Pakistan International Season-(C07) Super Eights - NZ VS PAK - Mello Zone

[dullah]

I have missed a lot of this story....Ireland batted very well. I think Pakistan will win it.

 

[w3lshrugby]

Nice to see Pak doing well here.

 

[Highlander999]

Pakistan losing two wickets shouldn't affect them too much as they are making a good chase. Would like Ireland to win but think Pakistan will win.

Great work mate, very nice story

 

[surendar]

This is going to be a close contest. If Ireland manage to pick three quick wickets, they will be in driver's seat. lets see how Pakistan manages this scenario.

Pakistan won the toss and elected to field first
Weather: Sunny
Pitch: Hard
Update: Pakistan 129/3 25 Overs

Mohammad Hafeez trudges off to the pavilion​

10 more overs passed as Pakistan continued to add more runs to their tally. But in the 16th over Mohammad Hafeez attempted to cut a shortish ball outside off-stump by Ireland Captain Trent Johnston. John Bray was at Gully and took a low catch. Hafeez was not very happy as he walked off towards the pavilion for his 29. It was looking evenly balanced again at 77/3. However Pakistani Captain Inzamam-Ul-Haq arrived and he and Mohammad Yousuf *(41) added 52 for the 4th wicket as Pakistan reached the half-way stage of the game. If Yousuf and Inzamam (24) continue at this steady rate, then Pakistan will ease home as they still have plenty of batting to come in; Shoaib Malik and Kamran Akmal.

[GrayNicolls]

Should be easy peasy with Yousuf and Inzamam at the crease. Come on Ireland!

 

[Pak_cricketer]

The chase should be easy with Yousuf and Inzi on.

Inzamam-Ul-Haq shakes hands with Ireland Captain Trent Johnson after a good game​

Pakistan won their first game of the Cricket World Cup 2007 as they reached Ireland's 250 runs with 9 balls to spare. Ant Botha gave away 29 runs in his 2.3 overs. A defiant *32 by Kamran Akmal steered them home. However it has to be said that Ireland played very very well.

Good win for pakistan there, KUTGW

 

[joelightning]

az is this the story you were tellin me about?

 

[Karachi Xpress]

A very good win for Pakistan. They could have batted better though.

 

[Pakistani Army]

az is this the story you were tellin me about?

Yes it is Joseph

 

[w3lshrugby]

Nice win there, shame really, I wanted Ireland to repeat what they did in real life. Ireland is the nearest thing to a cricket team for me to support nation wise, in my opinion. But well done and now come on Pakistan! Win the WC

 

[Left_Hander]

It is dissapointing that Ireland couldn't repeat what they did in real life, they were pretty close to doing it as well.
