Sports Desk
Pakistan have chosen to bowl first against Ireland in their last game in the T20 World Cup 2024, being played at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida.
It is a dead-rubber match as it will have no bearing on the ultimate results as both sides are out of the mega-tournament, while India and the US have checked into the next stage.
Pakistan made one change in their playing XI from the previous match against Canada with Abbas Afridi replacing Naseem Shah. Meanwhile, Ireland brought in Ben White for Craig Young.
Pakistan: 1 Mohammad Rizwan (wk) 2 Saim Ayub 3 Babar Azam (capt) 4 Fakhar Zaman 5 Usman Khan 6 Shadab Khan 7 Imad Wasim 8 Shaheen Afridi 9 Abbas Afridi 10 Haris Rauf 11 Mohammad Amir.
