Ireland lose to Pakistan

In the evening game, Ireland were unable to replicate their heroics of Sunday, as Pakistan gained revenge in their 21 run win.

Nain Abidi top scored with an impressive 56 from 58 balls as Pakistan racked up an imposing 132 for 5. Sana Mir chipped in with a breezy 23 from just 12 balls, as Ireland wilted in the closing overs.

Ireland, missing Cecelia Joyce through injury, battled bravely, but in the end fell 21 runs short thanks to Elena Tice's highest international score. She made an unbeaten 44, while Isobel Joyce hit 36 from just 35 balls in a valiant run chase.
