Stokell and Hunter seal chase
Rebecca Stokell’s calm acceleration and Amy Hunter’s control under pressure were the decisive acts as Ireland Women chased down 176 with 5 balls remaining, winning by 7 wickets. After Pakistan’s strong start and a threatening total, Ireland kept the chase on track through a brisk powerplay and never let the required rate climb for long, finishing at 177/3 in 19.1 overs.
Death-overs surge flips it
The match swung in Ireland’s favour at the back end of the chase. After scoring 54/1 in the powerplay and adding 82/1 through the middle overs, Ireland exploded for 41/1 in the death at 12.9 an over. That late burst meant Pakistan’s two-wicket spell from Rameen Shamim (2/32) couldn’t create the squeeze they needed, and Ireland were able to close without a last-over scramble.
Muneeba shines, Ireland respond
Muneeba’s 65 off 41 (SR 158) was the standout individual effort and kept Pakistan ahead for long stretches. Ireland’s response was built around Stokell’s 60 off 42 (SR 143) and Hunter’s 56 off 44, with their key stands—especially the 77-run partnership involving Stokell—providing the platform. Ava Canning’s 2/35 and Orla Prendergast’s 1/26 were crucial in ensuring Pakistan’s strong middle overs didn’t turn into a match-winning total.
Pakistan’s late stall costs
Pakistan’s innings had looked set for more when Muneeba Ali drove the tempo, combining with Saira Jabeen in an 87-run partnership that powered them to 148/3 after 15 overs. But Ireland’s bowlers held their nerve at the end: Pakistan managed only 28/3 in the final five overs, a drop to 7.0 an over, and the loss of wickets blunted their finishing options.
