Ireland fail to reach the World Cup quarter-finals following a seven-wicket defeat to Pakistan in Adelaide.

Pakistan have reached the World Cup quarter-finals at the expense of Ireland with a seven-wicket win in Adelaide.

Ireland batted first and were bowled out for 237 from their 50 overs before Pakistan reached 241-3 with around four overs remaining.

William Porterfield scored the bulk of the Irish's runs with an impressive knock of 107, but Gary Wilson (29) was the only other player who got beyond the 20-run mark.

Disappointing scores from Paul Stirling (three), Ed Joyce (11) and Niall O'Brien (12) at the top of the order added to their side's woes with the bat.

Wahab Riaz ended with figures of 3-54 for Pakistan, who also had Sohail Khan, Ehsan Adil, Rahat Ali and Haris Sohail among the wickets.

An unbeaten 101 from Sarfraz Ahmed anchored Pakistan's chase, with Ahmed Shehzad (63), Misbah-ul-Haq (39) and Umar Akmal (20 not out) also making significant contributions out in the middle.

Ireland struggled for wickets throughout, though Alex Cusack and Stuart Thompson dismissed Misbah-ul-Haq and Shehzad respectively, but it was not enough for them to cause and upset and reach the last eight.
