Pakistan Bowls First Against Ireland in Final T20 World Cup Match

Pakistan, led by Babar Azam, opted to field first in their final T20 World Cup match against Ireland in Lauderhill, Florida. The match marked the only T20 World Cup game to be played in Florida during this tournament.

Pakistan made one change to their lineup, bringing in fast bowler Abbas Afridi for Naseem Shah. Ireland also made a single substitution, with Ben White replacing Craig Young.

Both teams' hopes of advancing to the Super Eight stage were dashed after the washout between USA and Ireland confirmed the hosts' qualification. Pakistan had only one victory, against Canada, while Ireland remained winless after losses to India and Canada.

Pakistan's batting lineup featured Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Usman Khan, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Abbas Afridi, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Mohammad Amir.

Ireland's batting order included Andy Balbirnie, Paul Stirling, Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Josh Little, and Ben White.

The match commenced with Ireland batting first, aiming to post a competitive total against Pakistan's formidable bowling attack. Pakistan, on the other hand, sought to restrict Ireland's scoring and secure a victory to end their tournament on a positive note.
