Pakistan vs Ireland Todays' Match Prediction

Pakistan vs. Ireland Win Probability: PAK (70%) IRE (30%)
Both teams have played four T20Is against each other; with Pakistan winning three and Ireland, one.
Both teams have met only once in the T20 World Cup, way back in 2009. Pakistan won that game by 39 runs.
Both teams have struggled in this tournament. Pakistan’s batters have come under fire for their low strike rate, while Ireland’s batting, too, has been a disappointment. However, the bowlers from both teams have done reasonably well.
The wicket at the Central Broward Park, Lauderhill, Florida, has been a batsman's paradise. However, since the pitch has been under the covers for more than 72 hours, we can expect a damp surface that might assist bowlers.

Pakistan vs Ireland Match Prediction

It’s a redundant Group A match, as both teams have been officially eliminated from the T20 World Cup and will only be playing for pride. While the Pakistanis certainly look stronger on paper, they have been losing to minnows of late, including Ireland earlier this year. That said, we at CBA are still backing Pakistan to win this dead rubber because their bowlers have been on target in all the matches so far and will be the deciding factor.

Team News

Pakistan

With only a single victory so far, the runners-up of the 2022 T20 World Cup have been eliminated from the group stage.
They won their last match against Canada, though not convincingly.
Even though Pakistan has been eliminated, a victory in this match is crucial, as it would brighten chances of a direct qualification for the 2026 T20 edition of the tournament.
Saim Ayub will likely replace the out-of-form Iftikhar Ahmed, and he'll open the batting. Leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed might get to play his maiden T20 World Cup match.

Pakistan Probable Playing XI

Mohammad Rizwan (VC, wk), Babar Azam (C), Usman Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah/ Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Amir, Haris Rauf

Ireland

With no victory in the tournament so far, Ireland is at the bottom of the table in Group A. They have been eliminated from the tournament.
Their previous match against the United States was unfortunately washed out.
We expect no changes in their playing XI. However, George Dockrell might be promoted up the batting order.

Ireland Probable Playing XI

Paul Stirling (C), Mark Adair, Andrew Balbirnie, Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy, Harry Tector (VC), Lorcan Tucker (wk), Craig Young

Key Players

Pakistan

Haris Rauf: The most consistent bowler for Pakistan, Haris Rauf has been the only stand out bowler for his team in this World Cup scalping 6 wickets. His immaculate line and length has created problems for the batters. He had a great match against India taking 3 wickets and would be looking to replicate his success against the Irish batters.
Babar Azam: If Pakistan are to win this game, it is imperative that their skipper comes out of his shell and play a match winning knock. In spite of a string of low scores, he is still ranked among the top 5 T20I batters, thus proving his immense skill and potential. He recently overtook Virat Kohli to become the highest T20I runs scorer in the world.
Shaheen Afridi: The top ranked Pakistani bowler is still the backbone of the team’s bowling lineup. His ability to get early wickets and choke the flow of runs have been a blessing for his side. He has taken 5 wickets so far and has been equally good alongside Haris Rauf. He was the leading wicket taker in the bilateral series against Ireland and would be looking to replicate his success.

Ireland

Paul Stirling: The captain of the Irish team is the most experienced player of his side and is their top ranked T20I batter. On a comparatively batting friendly pitch, he is expected to play his strokes and give a good start to his team. Not to forget, his career strike rate of 134.68 is the best among Irish batters (min 50 innings).
Mark Adair: With 121 wickets to his name, Mark Adair is the leading wicket for his side in the shortest format of the game. He is vastly experienced and has picked important wickets in both the matches so far at an economy rate of 6.33. He has picked the most wickets for his side against Pakistan.
Andrew Balbirnie: He was the leading run scorer for his team recently when Pakistan toured Ireland and is also the top run-getter for his team in this rivalry. With 2392 runs, he is the most runs scorer for his side after Paul Stirling. He has been the backbone as far as the middle order batting is concerned.

Where to Watch?

The 2024 T20 World Cup begins on 2nd June and will be hosted by the United States and the Caribbean. Viewers in India will be able to livestream all the matches from the high-octane tournament on the Disney+Hotstar app.
