Pakistan eye quarter-final after dismissing Ireland for 237 (AFP)
Pakistan moved closer to a World Cup quarter-final berth after restricting Ireland to 237 all out in their winner-takes-all clash in Adelaide on Sunday. Ireland captain William Porterfield played a lone hand with 107 at the Adelaide Oval after the opener won the toss and elected to bat. The left-hander hit 11 boundaries and a six to boost Ireland’s total after four wickets had fallen for 134 runs by the 30th over. Left-arm seamer Wahab Riaz took three wickets for 54 runs, with Sohail Khan and Rahat Ali chipping in with two apiece.
