PAK vs IRE Match Prediction & Analysis
Pakistan were eliminated from the World Cup after the USA vs Ireland match was abandoned due to rain. There’s nothing left to play for. Both Ireland and Pakistan are out of the race for Super 8.
After losing to Canada, Ireland’s chances against Pakistan look very bad. They’ve got some quality batters who have all been out of form since even before the T20 World Cup kicked off.
And their recent performances against Canada and India saw their key players not living up to the expectations. Pakistan, on the other hand, have also struggled with the bat.
They were cruising on their way to victory against India with the win predictor showing a 92 percent chance of their win. However, a Bumrah-special began a collapse from which Pakistan never recovered as they lost the match by 6 runs while chasing 120.
Both teams have been below par with the bat and Pakistan’s bowling attack is the only positive for them. Bowlers will once again be crucial to get their team on the top in this match.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Pakistan Preview
Pakistan haven’t played like former T20 World Cup champions this year. They were in some exceptional form in the last couple of World Cups but the slower pitches in the USA have derailed their batting.
Their batters are used to the flat surfaces in Pakistan where they play most of their T20s in the PSL. They were impressive in the UAE as well but as the pitches started helping the bowlers in the US leg of the T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan’s star players failed to even get a good start.
Also, some poor shot selections against India cost them the match. Rizwan was well settled and was expected to take Pakistan home in that run chase. However, he played a very irresponsible shot against India’s Bumrah which led to a further batting collapse.
As they come to Florida for their last match of the tournament, Babar Azam and Co. will be hoping to finish on a high. Rizwan and skipper Babar led the successful run-chase against Canada in the last match in New York.
In the middle-order Fakhar Zaman, Usman Khan, and Shadab Khan are the key players for Pakistan but only Shadab seems to be a reliable player of all.
Others have failed miserably and we reckon it will be up to Babar and Rizwan to lead the team to a respectable total against Ireland.
Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah will be leading the pace attack for Pakistan. Haris Rauf will be crucial in the middle overs alongside Imad Wasim.
Pakistan Predicted Playing XI:
Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saim Ayub, Babar Azam (c), Fakhar Zaman, Usman Khan, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Amir

Ireland Preview
Ireland brought their best squad to the World Cup but could never get going. They also failed the challenge of the slower tracks in this part of the world. Andrew Balbrinie and Paul Stirling are quite experienced batters and will be crucial for a good start.
They failed to get going in both their outings so far as openers and their failure has dented Ireland’s prospects. While some promising players in the middle order played some big knocks against big teams like England in the past, without Stirling and Balbirnie making impactful contributions, Ireland cannot reach a competitive total.
Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker looked out of shape against the Indian pacers. In their next game against Canada, they struggled and lost their wickets to left-arm orthodox Saad Bin Zafar.
It is a deep batting lineup with Curis Campher, George Dockrell, and Gareth Delany in the lower order. They’ve got plenty of experience having played some crucial knocks in the past.
However, Ireland’s batters have never managed to adjust to these playing conditions even in the past when they toured countries like Zimbabwe. It will be a huge challenge for Ireland as they face some of the best pacers in the world in this match.
Mark Adair, Joshua Little, and Craig Young will be leading the Irish bowling attack. They’ve got a lot of promise and should be able to trouble an out-of-form Pakistan.
Ireland Predicted Playing XI:
Andrew Balbirnie, Paul Stirling (c), Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Joshua Little, Craig Young

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a balanced wicket that tilts slightly more in the favor of bowlers considering the average scores on this ground. Though there have been some very high scores here with the Windies posting 245 against India, overall, it has been on the slower side. The weather will be cloudy with a high of 32 degrees Celsius in Lauder Hill, Florida on the match day.
PAK vs IRE Pitch Report
Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida will be the venue for this match. The average 1st innings score here is 157 runs while the highest score chased is 179 runs. In this contest, considering the current form of both teams, we reckon a 160+ score will be a highly competitive total.
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first here have won 11 of the 18 T20Is. The last two matches here were abandoned due to rain. However, batting first should be the preferred choice for both skippers considering their current batting form.
PAK vs IRE
Winning Prediction
Pakistan are a superior squad in comparison and though Ireland have some experienced batters in a deep lineup, they have been out of form, to say the least. We don’t expect much from the Irish batters, especially against a Pakistani bowling attack. As such, Pakistan will start as clear favorites in our match prediction.
