Pakistan see off improved Ireland to take 3-0 ODI series win

Pakistan saw off Ireland by five wickets in the final One Day International of the series to secure a 3-0 whitewash win at the Gaddafi Stadium. In what was Ireland’s best performance of the series, Leah Paul and Gaby Lewis returned to form with the bat as Amy Hunter once again put up a solid score, but a middle-order collapse coupled with a strong Pakistan chase ultimately saw the hosts prevail in Lahore.

Ireland batted first and got their best opening stand of the tour from Lewis and Paul, the latter bringing up her third ODI half-century in a knock that featured six boundaries. Of the two, Lewis fell first, giving Ghulam Fatima her first of five scalps in a stellar bowling display that saw her named player-of-the-match.

Along with Lewis, Fatima had Hunter and Laura Delany stumped, bowled Orla Prendergast and induced a catch off Eimear Richardson to remove five of Ireland’s top six and severely dent their hopes of posting a big score. From a position of 149-1 off 33.2 overs, Ireland only added a further 76 runs for the final nine wickets.
