Dundalk Thirds chalk up convincing win in Carlow with seven wickets to spare
Losing the toss and fielding first in St Patrick's College, Dundalk claimed an early wicket through youth seamer Siraj Sherzad. A 58-run partnership followed before Raheel Qamar and off-spinner Kapil Paija Pun combined for a flurry of middle order wickets to leave the hosts at 91-7 at drinks. Qamar recorded his best economy in an innings for Dundalk at just 2.5 runs an over. However, Ishaan Mohan helped Carlow to a late comeback from number nine, scoring 40 not out to deny Dundalk the three wickets they sought and setting the visitors a worryingly high target of 174.
