— aam aadmi (@chemingineer) March 15, 2015 Overs 30: Ireland were on 137-4, Poterfield stil on pitch with outstanding innings of 85 runs.

— Shoaib Akhtar (@ShoaibAkhtarPk) March 15, 2015 OUT! Sohail to Balbirnie (18), Caught by Afridi!! Another soft dismissal for Ireland.
Overs 27: Ireland on 127-3 as Poterfield made 79 runs off 103 balls with a contribution of 16 runs by Balbirnie.

And begging for wickets starts by Pakistani fans, urging the players to take wickets.
The only option for Pakistan is to bowl Ireland out. If they stay on wicket for 50 overs, they ll put a considerable total. #PakvIre
