IRELAND SEND PAKISTAN PACKING

A big Group D match upset in Kingston will in all likeliness see Pakistan go home after the first round of the competition when Ireland beat the former world champions by 3 wickets. Chasing 133 on a difficult pitch, with conditions assisting Pakistan's bowlers, Ireland’s Niall O'Brien led Ireland's response with a superb fifty which was interrupted by a rain break, and Duckworth-Lewis, altered the required total, leaving a confident Ireland side with a well-deserved victory.

Final score:
Ireland: (7 wickets; 41.4 overs) 133
Pakistan: (all out; 45.4 overs) 132
