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.
