Pakistan coach Waqar Younis has warn Ireland that his side will be leaving all out to secure a 2-0 sweep of their short ODI series in Belfast on Monday. Pakistan claims a thrashing seven-wicket victory in yesterday's opener at Stormont after bowling Ireland out for just 96.
It was a suddenly wide-margin success in a game that had loomed as a possible banana skin for the tourists. Waqar had admit to being wary of an ever-improving Irish side in their home situation before the game, particularly after Pakistan had only just arrived from their testing tour of the Caribbean on Thursday.
They lay any fears he had to rest; however, as Junaid Khan led the rout with career-best statistics of four for 12 in his sixth ODI. It was an inspiring display from a 21-year-old, who had only taken three one-day wickets before yesterday, and on the back of it Waqar could be exempt for turning to his young players for the final game of a long tour.
Pakistan has live out of hotels for the most part since the World Cup, but Waqar has pledge to select a near straight team as he aims to finish on a high. "We are not leaving to throw all the youngsters in and say, 'because it is Ireland we can take it easy'," he said.
"No, that is not going to happen. "This is international cricket and you do have to give your young people a chance. It doesn't matter if it is England or it is Ireland.
"But you have to bring on your young players when it is necessary. "It's not that you fling them in because you are playing Ireland. "You have to make confident you win and that we are playing good cricket.
"That's accurately what we are going to do." Waqar's warning is not good news for Ireland who lacks any of the insolence that earn them plaudit, and the memorable scalp of England, at this year's World Cup.
They had high hopes of claim an upset in the series to boost their chances of believable the International Cricket Council to reverse a decision to omit the connect countries from the next World Cup in 2015.
The ICC's chief executives' group is due to discuss the option of introducing a requirement system for the World Cup at a meeting next month. Tomorrow's game will therefore be Ireland's last chance to prove their qualifications, which suffered a major blow on Friday.
With that in mind Pakistan captain expects a far tougher test tomorrow, when another rain-shortened match is likely due to predict rain. "Ireland is doing very well particularly during the World Cup. They are a very good side particularly beating England," said Misbah, who turned 37 on Friday.
"We know they are going to give us a rough time. "They are making it hard for other teams and even beating good teams. "So it's a good opposition, it is international-level competition. "You have to play well next to these guys to win."
