Ireland and Pakistan clash in crucial 2nd T20I.
Pakistan will be looking to bounce back after suffering a 5-wicket defeat in the series opener when they take on Ireland in the crucial 2nd T20I today.
Chasing 183, Ireland overcame early struggles to record a win thanks to Andrew Bilbirnie’s 55-ball 77 and cameos from Harry Tector (36) and George Dockrell (24).
Despite Saim Ayub’s 29-ball 45 and 57 from captain Babar Azam, Pakistan could only reach 182/6. Iftikhar Ahmed’s 15-ball 37 proved too little in the end. The rematch for both sides will be played at 7:30 PM IST today at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground in Dublin.
While no TV channel will broadcast the series in India, fans can catch the live action online through the FanCode app.
Today’s defeat would mean an uphill task for Pakistan to level the series. Meanwhile, a win would seal the series for Ireland in just two matches.
Both teams will hope to put their best foot forward in front of a packed Dublin crowd in what promises to be an exciting encounter between the two Asian cricket giants.
