| Pakistan paid tribute to former coach Bob Woolmer with a 93-run victory over Zimbabwe under the Duckworth-Lewis method at a rainy Sabina Park.
The win, which was largely down to Imran Nazir's ferocious 160, means Ireland qualify for the next phase.
Pakistan were 349 all out, departing skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq hitting 37.
Zimbabwe fell to 30-3 before a rain delay, after which they were asked to chase a revised total of 193 from 20 overs. They were dismissed for 99.
In Inzamam's last one-dayer, he struck three sixes in a 35-ball innings before Sean Williams caught him off the bowling of Tawanda Mupariwa.
But his tears and gestures to the sky as he left the field suggested his thoughts were with Woolmer.
Earlier, Kamran Akmal edged Elton Chigumbura (3-50) behind for 15 and Shoaib Malik (21) chipped Sean Williams to Justice Chibhabha.
Mohammad Yousuf (3) fell soon after Inzamam, Gary Brent claiming the caught and bowled chance.
Nazir carried on, though, mixing some lusty blows with clever singles in a superb innings.
He offered just one chance, on 81, when Friday Kasteni dropped a skyer at deep backward square-leg off Brent, and struck eight sixes and 14 fours in reaching his highest one-day score off 121 balls.
He was well supported by Younis Khan (28), who shared a partnership of 82 with the opener before he was run out by Christopher Mpofu.
