I never thought I would get that excited for ireland match
good job Ireland 👏

I know, wat a match... 👏 especially the last few balls.... Ireland kept on dropping sum catches towards the end... and did u see the crowd, especially the irish ppl, sum of the women were even crying!.... but the match was a good one!... really interesting........ good play from both sides! 👏 and they both earned one point each as it was a tie! 👏

I just remembered... these two teams r in Pakistan's group!!!!! 😆 😕

they both have one point each now!!! 😲 Pakistan shud really concentrate now and win both these upcoming matches, as both of them have one one point each, which is not good news for pakistan! 😕

Inshallah Pakistan will win... or else...... 😆 ok, lets not think of that, pak will win against Zim and Ireland!...
is it just me or doz anyone else think that Ireland is a good team out of the smaller teamz. Edited by mini2390 - 17 years ago

Putting this kind of show in a debut match against the experienced zimbabwe is great!!weldone Ireland 👏

yeah it was a exciting match at the end..I thought Zimbabwe had it in the bag but Ireland managed to win.

neither zim nor ireland are good... its just coz their match got tied that suddenly it looks WOW!! 😆 let them come up against a good team and we will have 80 all out 😆

thats unbelievable i thought they had it in the bag zimbabwe i couldnt believe it
