Why does a milk company from South India sponsor the Irish cricket team? Good quality milk no doubt but how does that association come about?

They were looking for a legend-dairy sponsor

Canada defeat Ireland.
Associate teams are making statements at this tournament.

if only the icc and the big dogs had been more proactive about growing the sport earlier

It's called pig 3 for a reason.

Makes sense tbh. More Indians probably watch the Irish cricket team than Irish people

let's see who will win tomorrow. India vs Pakistan Cricket Match

 

[Bahnz]

Is there anyway Pakistan can still qualify at this point? As I understand, even in a scenario where USA loses to Ireland, that just means there's a 2-way tie for second and USA advance on the back of winning the head to head.

Nah net run rate comes first.

Pakistan fielding first. Ayub playing.

A win here can only prevent a much-needed systematic overhaul. Let's go Canada. Maple syrup on a moose or something

I agree, the system needs big time overhaul.

This team definitely must not get to the next round. Otherwise we will be stuck with these clowns for another 4 year cycle.

USA v Ireland likely to be rained off on Friday.

If that happens, then USA automatically goes through regardless of any other results..

I really hope this happens

Pakistan are as good as out & have only themselves to blame. Fudged 2 straight forward situations. Pakistan have fallen far behind other teams in batting to the point of being a minnow.

They have a better NRR than USA at the moment. Their destiny is not in their hands tho.

Doesn't matter when there are floods in Florida. US are in the super 8's barring a miracle.

I would like to see Pakistan strong and progressing but they are not the team I watched decades ago. Pakistan may sneak in (very unlikely) but they are well behind the T20 batting curve. The silver lining is that Pk has decent bowling and a huge cricket loving population so a star or two may surface.
