Ireland's journey to the World Cup was an arduous one, as they had to cope with challenging European qualifications after missing out on direct entry. Their perseverance paid off as they secured a commendable second-place finish. Ireland's competitive spirit is not to be underestimated, especially given their recent victories over teams like Pakistan and Afghanistan in the T20I format.
