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 Sunday with 89% humidity and 5 km/hr wind speed. There are 10% chance of the rain during the match.

Ireland :
Paul Stirling(c), Andrew Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker(w), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Craig Young, Benjamin White.

Preview :
Ireland are set to face Pakistan in the second match of their three-game T20I series at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground in Dublin. The match is scheduled for May 12, beginning at 7:30 PM IST. In the first encounter, Ireland secured a convincing five-wicket victory, showcasing their clinical performance both with bat and ball. Despite Pakistan's reputation, Ireland successfully restricted them to 182-6 before chasing down the target with ease, with Andrew Balbirnie leading the charge with a score of 77.
Pakistan's recent defeats, including one against a weakened New Zealand side, raise concerns about their approach to the game. Despite Pakistan's claim of experimenting for the upcoming World Cup, their performance in the first T20I suggests otherwise. Pakistan's traditional strategy of starting slow and aiming for big scores in the final overs is becoming outdated, with the par score now ranging between 200-210. This shift in scoring trends should prompt Pakistan to reassess their tactics and aim for higher totals from the start.
