MATCH: Ireland vs Pakistan
DATE: May 12, 2024
TIME: 19:30 IST / 14:00 GMT
VENUE: Clontarf Cricket Club Ground – Dublin, Ireland
TOURNAMENT: IRE vs PAK 2nd T20 2024
Pakistan’s recent defeats, including one against a weakened New Zealand side, raise concerns about their approach to the game. Despite Pakistan’s claim of experimenting for the upcoming World Cup, their performance in the first T20I suggests otherwise. Pakistan’s traditional strategy of starting slow and aiming for big scores in the final overs is becoming outdated, with the par score now ranging between 200-210. This shift in scoring trends should prompt Pakistan to reassess their tactics and aim for higher totals from the start.
Pitch Report
The wicket at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground in Dublin has historically favoured batters, as evident by the recent match where Ireland successfully chased down a score of over 180 set by Pakistan. While there might be some early swing available for the bowlers, as the game progresses, the wicket tends to settle, providing a good surface for batting. Teams batting first should aim for a score of around 200 to stay safe in the match.
IRE vs PAK Probable Playing XI
Ireland:
Paul Stirling(c), Andrew Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker(w), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Craig Young, Benjamin White
Pakistan:
Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam(c), Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, Azam Khan(w), Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Abbas Afridi
Probable Best Batter of the Match
Star batter Babar Azam will be disappointed with his performance in the first game and will be eager to bounce back strongly. He’s too talented to miss out on opportunities, especially against a comparatively weaker side like Ireland. Azam will be aiming to return to his usual form and make a significant contribution in the upcoming game to help his team level the series.
Probable Best Bowler of the Match
Shaheen Afridi seemed off colour in the first game and will be determined to stage a strong comeback. He’ll aim to deliver a brilliant spell to aid his team in levelling the series, particularly after the one-sided loss in the first game.
