IRE vs PAK 2nd T20I: Challenging path ahead for Pakistan
Pakistan are set to face a challenging task ahead when they face Ireland in the second T20I match of the three-match series on Sunday at Clontarf Cricket Club. During the first match, Ireland made history by securing their first-ever T20I victory over Pakistan, beating the visitors by five wickets.
The stage is now set for the second encounter between both teams as Pakistan look to stage their comeback. Pakistan are set to travel through a tough road ahead, with Ireland having been emboldened by their recent triumph against Pakistan. Andrew Balbarine starred with bat for Ireland, hammering 77, and outplaying traditionally stronger Pakistan.
On the other hand, Pakistan will be determined to make amends for their defeat in the first match. Their batters and bowlers will be eager to deliver a strong performance to pin down Ireland. Babar Azam was exceptional in the first game, bringing up his half-century but other batters failed to make their impact at crucial moments. Nonetheless, Pakistan will be looking to rectify their mistakes and come back stronger in the upcoming match.
Ireland Probable XI: Paul Stirling (c), Andrew Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Craig Young, Benjamin White
Pakistan Probable XI: Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saim Ayub, Babar Azam (c), Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, Azam Khan (wk), Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Abbas Afridi
