After losing the toss, Pakistan elected to bat first. Captain Babar Azam led the Men in Green with 57 runs as they amassed 182/6 after 20 overs.

Ireland took the lead in the three-match series after chasing down the score in 19.5 overs thanks to Andrew Balbirnie’s 77.

Mohammad Rizwan(0), Fakhar Zaman(20), Azam Khan(0), Shadab Khan(0), and Babar were the only members of Pakistan’s batting order to fail, with the exception of Babar, opener Saim Ayub, and Iftikhar Ahmed, who scored 45 and 37, respectively.

Shaheen Shah Afridi’s tenure as captain lasted just one T20 series, and Babar had just taken over.

In the T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan is grouped alongside Canada, USA, Ireland, and archrival India. June 9 is set aside for the highly anticipated conflict between India and Pakistan.

The Pakistan Cricket Board named three important individuals to lead the country’s men’s cricket squad a few weeks ago. Jason Gillespie will lead the team in red-ball matches, while Gary Kirsten will oversee the team in white-ball matches. Azhar Mahmood, meanwhile, has been officially announced as the Pakistan men’s team’s assistant coach in all forms.

According to a press statement from PCB, the three appointments were made for a two-year term after a recruiting procedure.

As the batting coach for the Gujarat Titans of the Indian Premier League, Kirsten is presently in India. India had finished first in the ICC Test Team Rankings and had won the 2011 ODI World Cup under his leadership. Kirsten assumes leadership of Pakistan at a pivotal moment: the country will host the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024, the ACC T20 Asia Cup in 2025, the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025, and the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2026 in India and Sri Lanka during the following two years.

After dropping KL Rahul for the T20 World Cup, two veterans delivered a message to Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid.

KL Rahul is not included in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup.

KL Rahul’s IPL 2024 campaign has been utterly depressing. On Wednesday, the wicketkeeper-batter saw the Lucknow Super Giants suffer their sixth loss of the year. With 62 balls remaining, Sunrisers Hyderabad easily won by 10 wickets in a highly one-sided match.

Rahul’s inclusion for the T20 World Cup was already in doubt before IPL 2024 because of fitness concerns, but the LSG captain expedited things. However, it turned out to be a mistake as he was left out of Team India’s team for the ICC tournament.

He could only manage 29 from 33 balls against SRH, with one four and one six, as LSG amassed 165/4 in 20 overs. In the meantime, SRH easily overcame the goal, scoring 167/0 in 9.4 overs.

After the game, West Indies great Ian Bishop offered Rahul advice and urged him to “play freely.” It just involves releasing the mental chains that hold you back and being truly ready. He needs to be ready to acknowledge, as Pat Cummins has stated, “We may lose a few games and get rolled over.” However, the second need is that in order to play that manner, you must have the resources. Due to the fact that this is how the game has often played out, you must make wise choices and just have courage. Sometimes, as the other night at the Wankhede, you’ll get a pitch that calls for a little bit more caution. However, According to the way the IPL has progressed, you have to be able to play freely and have the means to get there and do so,” he stated on ESPNcricinfo.

Mitchell McClenaghan said that Rahul had to improve if he was to carry on with his Indian career. He remarked, “I don’t know what will wake KL up to the sort of cricket he has to play moving ahead in order to be successful and to play for India, you know. I believe…”

“He’s capable,” Bishop answered.

“Absolutely he can,” McClenaghan replied in response to Bishop. He needs to get past, in my opinion, much like Virat Kohli did. You know, like you’re the only one who can score runs, so he needs to do it well. I have to score runs, and it’s okay if I don’t; I trust the other guys to finish the job. It appears as though he is carrying the entire team on his shoulders, believing that if he is out of the game, they would be far behind where they should be and that if he bats the innings, you will not score.”

“It will require excellent coaching and structure management to convey to him that we will not abandon him, even if it is a top-down message. I don’t see anything wrong with Rohit Sharma, Dravid Rahul, and others really stating, “We won’t let you go if you consistently act in this way.” He is one of the finest players out there, and he will recover from this if they can unlock it,” he continued.

Rahul has amassed 460 runs with a strike rate of 136.09 in 12 games this season. In addition, he has recorded three half-centuries.
