Irish captain Paul Stirling will have much at stake in this matchup as Ireland has yet to win at this tournament and hopes a victory against Men in Green will help erase that embarrassment.

Pakistan will face Ireland for their final group stage matchup in Lauderhill on Sunday with an opportunity to secure an all-important point and secure qualification to the Super Eights. A win against Ireland would put Pakistan in an advantageous position relative to their current standing; they are just one point behind USA who has already qualified.
Ireland had a slow start, as two wickets fell off their initial three deliveries, but eventually built a solid partnership between Andrew Balbirnie and Harry Tector that saw both reach half centuries to help lead their side to a substantial total.
Irish success was short-lived however as Mark Adair quickly picked up two wickets to end their chances of reaching the Super Eights. First he dismissed Saim Ayub at the back of their innings before dismissing Balbirnie off the last ball of powerplay to bring an end to his unbeaten 75-ball knock and bring down their hopes for reaching this stage of competition.
Irish bowling unit is currently disjointed and needs to find its bearings quickly. Josh Little was replaced with Barry McCarthy who started off the over with some dot balls before trying an outside off delivery and missing completely; Abbas Afridi caught at long-on.
