Pitch Report :
The Castle Avenue in Dublin, also known as the Clontarf Cricket Club Ground, generally provides considerable assistance to fast bowlers, especially with the new-ball. Seamers from both sides will enjoy bowling here, as they will get a good amount of movement. Adding to that, the overcast conditions will also work in their favour, and there will be extra seam off the pitch. The wicket should be ideal for winning the toss and bowling, as chasing will be easier at this venue, as the wicket has dried out in the second half of the game.
The average first innings score is here 138 runs.
Weather Report :
The temperature is expected to hover around 12°C on the Friday with 89% humidity and 5 km/hr wind speed. There are 10% chance of the rain during the match.

Ireland :
Andy Balbirnie, Paul Stirling (c), Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Craig Young and Ben White.

Preview :
Pakistan are set to play Ireland in a three match T20I series as a chance to get themselves ready for the T20I World Cup in June. Both these sides are also set to face each other during the mega event as they are in the same Group which also includes India.
The Ireland cricket team recently lost their three-match T20I series to Afghanistan in UAE by a 1-2 margin. Chasing 158 for a win in the series-decider, Paul Stirling and co. managed to tally just 98 to fall 59 runs short of their target.
Earlier this week, the Ireland Cricket Board unveiled their 15-player squad for the forthcoming T20 World Cup 2024 in West Indies. Several members lined up for the tournament are also included in Ireland’s T20I challenge for Pakistan as part of their pre-T20 World Cup preparations. Andy Balbirnie and captain Paul Stirling will hold key to Ireland’s chances against Pakistan owing to their seniority. Both cricketers have played over 100 T20I matches each, and will start out as their most experienced batters. All-rounder Mark Adair and wicketkeeper Lorcan Tucker also hold key experience, alongside in-form youngster Curtis Campher.
The Pakistan cricket team, under the leadership of Babar Azam, levelled their five-match home T20I series against New Zealand last month. Notably, Babar was re-appointed as team captain after Shaheen Afridi’s short tenure as leader coped a 1-4 hammering in New Zealand earlier this year.
Captain Babar Azam and star batter Fakhar Zaman plundered the most runs for their team against New Zealand. Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi, meanwhile, snared eight wickets from just four innings and delivered timely breakthroughs for Pakistan throughout the series.
Interestingly, pacer Hasan Ali was called back into the national setup for the series against Ireland and England, and his presence will be expected the bolster Pakistan’s bowling attack. Haris Rauf and Azam Khan, who missed the series against New Zealand, are also included in Pakistan’s squad for Ireland T20Is.
