Pakistan vs Ireland Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: PAK vs IRE: After winning the toss, PAK captain Babar said, “We’ll have a bowl first. Last three days, the pitch has been covered, little bit moisture on it. As a professional, you need to prepare for every match. We’ll look to play our best. We have one change. Naseem isn’t playing, Abbas is playing.”

Meanwhile, IRE skipper Stirling said, “That’s what we would have done (bowl first). Under the covers for a while, there’ll be a little bit up top. Hopefully we can through that and put a score on the board. We put one on the board, got 1-0 up in the series (against Pakistan) and then didn’t manage to go on and win it. World Cup brings a different scenario, another great game hopefully. Young misss out today, Ben White is in.”
