It’s a do-or-die match today in Dublin, Ireland for the Pakistan and Ireland cricket teams.
This is the last game in a three-match series, and whoever wins takes home the trophy.
Pakistan lost the first game but came back strong in the second, thanks to some great batting and bowling. Both teams are using this series as a warm-up for the big T20 World Cup coming up in less than a month.
Pakistan has a powerful bowling attack, but they’ve had some trouble stopping Ireland’s batters in this series. This final match is crucial for both sides to gain some momentum and confidence before the World Cup.
After Ireland, Pakistan will play a couple of practice matches against England before heading to the USA for the World Cup. Their journey starts with a game against the USA on June 6th, followed by a much-anticipated clash with India on June 9th in New York City.
Pakistan: Babar Azam (Captain), Saim Ayub, Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Afridi, Abbas Afridi, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed.
Ireland: Paul Stirling (Captain), Andrew Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Ben White, Graham Hume, Craig Young.
