Rain abandons second Ireland-Pakistan ODI

DUBLIN: The last of the two One-Day Internationals (ODI) between Ireland and Pakistan was washed out on Saturday.

Pakistan after securing 255-run — their biggest in terms of runs in the format — victory over the hosts on Thursday won the series 0-1.

Sharjeel Khan was declared man-of-the-series for a blistering 86-ball 152 in the first match.

Pakistan now head back to England for five-ODI series, beginning from August 24 at Southampton.

Azhar Ali's men are required to put up a flawless show during the upcoming series to ensure automatic qualification for the 2019 ICC World Cup in England.

Top seven teams, along with England, by September 30, 2017 will qualify for the mega event.
