U19 World Cup 2024 (Game 27) – Pakistan vs Ireland
In a challenging chase, Pakistan Under-19 successfully navigated the hurdles set by a resilient Ireland Under-19 bowling attack, securing a hard-fought 3 wicket victory. Despite expectations of a smooth cruise for Pakistan, credit goes to the Irish bowlers who made every effort to make the pursuit difficult for the Pakistani batters in the run chase.
For Pakistan, the key to their success lay in a couple of crucial innings and partnerships, with Hassan emerging as the star player, contributing a valuable half-century. His solid knock proved pivotal in steering Pakistan to victory, preventing what could have been a different outcome.
Throughout the game, Pakistan faced challenges as they continued to lose wickets regularly, making the task more demanding. Ireland’s Under-19 team, especially Harry Dyer, showcased an impressive bowling performance, claiming four crucial wickets and keeping their hopes alive. However, the deficiency in the run total proved to be a decisive factor for Ireland Under-19.

Ireland U19 – 181 for 10 in 48.4 overs (John McNally 53, Harry Dyer 31, Oliver Christopher Riley 18, Ubaid Shah 3 for 31, Ali Raza 2 for 18, Amir Hassan 2 for 34)
