LIVE SCORES - 1st T20I Match - Ireland vs Pakistan (Clontarf Cricket Club Ground, Dublin)

Current Form Ireland:

Ireland are ranked 11th in the ICC Men's T20 Team Rankings with a rating of 192.

Ireland are in an ordinary form in T20I cricket currently. They have recently lost a 3 match T20I series against Afghanistan by 2-1.

Ireland will certainly start as underdogs in the series against Pakistan but they are certainly capable of springing a surprise or two in their home conditions.

Players to look out for:

1. Lorcan Tucker - He is in superb form as we saw in the Ireland Inter Provincial T20 Trophy matches held recently. Tucker will play an important role for Ireland with the bat in the upcoming matches.

2. Craig Young - He is the strike bowler for Ireland who will have greater responsibility over his shoulders in the absence of Joshua Little.

Current Form Pakistan:

Pakistan are ranked 7th in the ICC Men's T20 Team Rankings with a rating of 247.

Pakistan are in an average form in T20I cricket currently. They have recently only managed to draw a 5 match series against New Zealand level at 2-2, despite facing a weak Kiwi side.

Pakistan are certainly the favorites going into the 3 match T20I series against Ireland.

Players to look out for:

1. Fakhar Zaman - He is a swashbuckling batter who showed signs of good form in the recently concluded 5 match series against New Zealand. Zaman is expected to be the highest run scorer for Pakistan in the upcoming series.

2. Shaheen Afridi- He will be a threatening bowler to face for the Irish side. If Afridi gets going in the series, Ireland will have very little chances to win matches against the visitors.

Let’s have a look at the squads:

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

Ireland: Ross Adair, Andrew Balbirnie, Harry Tector, Paul Stirling (C), Gareth Delany, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Neil Rock, Lorcan Tucker, Mark Adair, Graham Hume, Barry McCarthy, Craig Young, Benjamin White
