Summary Ireland will play their last World Cup Pool B match against Pakistan on Sunday.
HAMILTON (AP) - Ireland will have its rendevous with Cricket World Cup destiny in Adelaide on Sunday when it meets Pakistan in the final match of the tournament s group stages.
An eight-wicket loss to India on Tuesday left Ireland with three wins from five matches in Pool B and meant its hopes of reaching the quarterfinals now hang entirely on the outcome of the match at Adelaide Oval.
If Ireland wins, the team will make history by progressing to the tournament s knockout rounds. If it rains and the Irish share the points with Pakistan, they still have a chance of progressing. If it loses, it will be remembered for another giant-killing effort at this tournament but, ultimately, that effort will have been in vain.
