IRE vs Pak 2nd T20I Match Summary

The visitors won the toss at first and asked Ireland to bat first. Ireland welcomed the decision and thumped 29 runs in 3 overs but an excellent over by Shaheen Shah took the momentum away from the home side. He knocked out skipper Stirling and last match hero Balbirnie in the same over.

Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector combined to bridge the innings further where the wicketkeeper batter Tucker smacked 51 off 34 balls. They were 165 for 7 down with just 9 balls left in the game and then Gareth Delany showed up his superior class with bat and posted 26 runs in the 7 he played. Following the brilliant finish, Ireland asked Pakistan to chase 194 to level the series.

It was a horrific start for Pakistan with Saim Ayub and Babar Azam going back to the pavilion within the first 10 balls of the chase with just 13 runs on the board. Rizwan and Fakhar took charge and started thrashing the Irish bowlers.

Rizwan smashed a 34-ball fifty whereas Fakhar got an even faster 30-ball fifty that took Pakistan in a much comfortable position. Zaman went flying fast after his 50 and lost his wicket after a quick 78 off 40 balls. Azam Khan came up and came up with an absolute banger as he smashed 4 sixes to reach 30 off just 10 balls.

Pakistan chased up the target within 17 overs and that lays a mark on their day, Pakistan’s batting lineup can be one of the most brutal lineups you could ever face. Pakistan won the match by 7 wickets.
