The series is tied at 1-1. The third and final T20 match of the series in Dublin thus became the undeclared final. The team that wins will get the series trophy.

In this unannounced final, Ireland scored 178 runs for 7 wickets with captain Lorcan Tucker’s half-century. In other words, to win, Pakistan has to make 179.

Pakistan was unlucky in this match in Dublin. Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and decided to bowl first. In the beginning, pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi gave a big blow to the Irish camp. He bowled Ross Adair for 7 off 8 balls.

However, losing the first wicket in the team’s 15 runs, Ireland turned around brilliantly with the bat of Andy Balbirnie and captain Lorcan Tucker. They made a pair of 85 runs off 49 balls for the second wicket.

Abbas Afridi broke this pair by returning Balbirni (35 from 26 balls). But Lorcan Tucker continued to play. The Irish skipper gave an innings of 73 runs with 13 boundaries and 1 six off 41 balls before falling victim to Imad Wasim.
