Andrew Balbirnie couldn't watch the last over in Ireland's T20 win over Pakistan, fearing his dismissal had cost them victory despite his batting heroics.
Andrew Balbirnie feared his penultimate over dismissal might have cost Ireland victory against Pakistan in the opening T20 international at ClontarfBalbirnie's 77 helped Ireland earn a first win over Pakistan in 17 years as Curtis Campher's last-over runs sealed a five-wicket victory with one ball to spare.
"I didn't watch the last over. I went to the tent and put a towel over my head," said the former Ireland captain, who shared a third-wicket stand of 77 with Harry Tector.But with Ireland needing 11 off the last over, Campher under-edged a boundary off Abbas Afridi and then eventually sealed victory with a leg bye.
"Harry said if we could bat normally till the 13th over, we could get the runs. That was a partnership which set it up," added the relieved opener following the opening contest of a three-match series.Azam top-scored for the tourists with 57 in a total of 182-6 that also featured Saim Ayub's 45, but the captain felt his side's total had been below par."We lost in the fielding and batting. I don't think we executed the plans. A few fielding lapses cost us.
