Pakistan defeated Ireland in the only-Test match with five wickets after a rather nervous last day innings. Chasing the 160 target, Pakistan was 14-3 at one point but Imam-ul-Haq and Babr Azam played responsible innings and won the match for the green shirts.
The fans have shown excitement over O’Brien’s statement about visiting Pakistan and expressed their happiness on social media as many send welcome messages to the Irish player.
