IRE vs PAK 2nd T20I: An aggressive approach by Pakistan was cool to watch against Ireland in the PAK vs IRE 2nd T20I. Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan came up with the best of their forms and Pakistan defeated Ireland in the second T20I to level the 3-match T20I series.

 The visitors won the toss at first and asked Ireland to bat first. Ireland welcomed the decision and thumped 29 runs in 3 overs but an excellent over by Shaheen Shah took the momentum away from the home side. He knocked out skipper Stirling and last match hero Balbirnie in the same over. 



Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector combined to bridge the innings further where the wicketkeeper batter Tucker smacked 51 off 34 balls. They were 165 for 7 down with just 9 balls left in the game and then Gareth Delany showed up his superior class with bat and posted 26 runs in the 7 he played. Following the brilliant finish, Ireland asked Pakistan to chase 194 to level the series.



It was a horrific start for Pakistan with Saim Ayub and Babar Azam going back to the pavilion within the first 10 balls of the chase with just 13 runs on the board. Rizwan and Fakhar took charge and started thrashing the Irish bowlers.

Rizwan smashed a 34-ball fifty whereas Fakhar got an even faster 30-ball fifty that took Pakistan in a much comfortable position. Zaman went flying fast after his 50 and lost his wicket after a quick 78 off 40 balls. Azam Khan came up and came up with an absolute banger as he smashed 4 sixes to reach 30 off just 10 balls. 



Pakistan chased up the target within 17 overs and that lays a mark on their day, Pakistan's batting lineup can be one of the most brutal lineups you could ever face. Pakistan won the match by 7 wickets.

IRE vs PAK 3rd T20I: With the series on the line, Pakistan will face the courageous and sharp opponents Ireland in the final showdown of the series. The series is in level and the 3rd T20I will be the decider of the short three-match T20I series and here we are with the strongest playing 11s of Pakistan and Ireland, Dream11 Prediction, Full Squads for IRE vs PAK 3rd T20I.

In these two T20Is, it is pretty clear that Ireland is nothing but a tough opponent and you can't be loose on them. Any chance provided, they will clinch on that and make you regret that in the end. They were just outstanding in the first T20I defeating the full-strength Pakistan side and then showed up with a brave effort in the second T20I as well.



Posting a 190+ score against one of the best bowling lineups in the world currently is not a cakewalk. Ireland batted first and lost both their openers within the 4 overs, lost 7 wickets at 165 in the 19th over, and still managed to post a grand total of 192. However, they missed a couple of opportunities that cost them the match or they would have sealed the series leaving the visitors down and out.

Pakistan, on the other hand, were left stunned after the first loss but came up with a grand bounce on the rough. They, however, got a couple of lucky splashes but eventually won the second T20I with authority. They punched and dismantled the Irish bowling lineup to seal a 7-wicket win in the second T20I. 



The third T20I will be the ultimate test for the Ireland team as they are so close to announcing their International impact in cricket. This is a big opportunity for them and they would be well aware of it as well. In contrast, it is now a first of pride for Pakistan. They can't loss it or it will definitely be an international setback for them.

<li>Pakistan's Strongest Playing 11</li>
</ul>



Any change in Pakistan's lineup is not expected. They looked fully balanced in the second T20I and would come up with a similar playing 11. Batters are in the best of their forms, and bowlers are good with the ball. Pakistan used four quick bowlers in the second T20I and now as the third T20I is also going to be played at the same ground, they can go for an extra spinning option.



Saim Ayub, Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam (c), Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan (wk), Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir



Full Squad- Saim Ayub, Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam(c), Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan(w), Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Shadab Khan, Usman Khan, Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf, Agha Salman, Abrar Ahmed, Irfan Khan

Ireland were also in a good balance in the first and second T20I. They have a good and deep batting line-up that provides the top order a license to explode at the top. The bowling isn't much discussed among us but they are pretty confident with the options they have.



Andrew Balbirnie, Paul Stirling (c), Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Graham Hume, Craig Young/Barry McCarthy, Benjamin White

NZ vs PAK: The fifth T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan will be played on 26 March at Wellington’s Sky Stadium, which has hosted 22 T20Is—10 won batting first, 12 chasing. The average first-innings score is 153, but high totals like NZ’s 219/6 and successful chases like Australia’s 216 show it can be a batting-friendly ground. Key performers here include Martin Guptill (453 runs) and Ish Sodhi (17 wickets). With chasing slightly favored and spinners often influential, the match could hinge on whether Pakistan’s batters or New Zealand’s home advantage proves decisive.
