Preview
Pakistan will lock horns against Ireland in the Group A match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill. After getting eliminated from the group stage of the tournament, Pakistan will be playing for pride in their final group stage match against a difficult opponent with nothing to lose. Ireland, who failed to make the Super 8 stage from Group A, will be eyeing their first win in the T20 World Cup 2024, to end their campaign on a high.
Toss Prediction
In their last three T20I matches, the captain Babar Azam has a 2-1 toss record for Pakistan, while Paul Stirling, the Ireland captain, has won only one toss. With that, it is highly likely that Babar Azam gets the toss right when Pakistan takes on Ireland in the T20 World Cup 2024 Group A match.
Win Possibility
Pakistan's batting lineup has been far from their best in the T20 World Cup 2024 with only Mohammad Rizwan making significant contributions with the bat. The bowling attack of Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir, and Haris Rauf took the mantle to give Pakistan the best chance to reach the Super 8 stage, albeit their efforts didn’t prove to be enough.
Ireland’s top order struggled massively in the T20 World Cup 2024, which meant that the lower middle order of George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, and Mark Adair had to make the play for them with the bat. On the bowling side of things, the Irish have managed to put opposition batters under pressure with wickets from Craig Young, Barry McCarthy, and Mark Adair, but the lack of runs on the board didn’t help their course in the tournament.
All in all, Pakistan still have a better chance to finish their T20 World Cup 2024 on a high note with a win against Ireland, owing to the better quality of players in their squad.
Predicted powerplay score and first innings score
The incessant rains at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill have led to two matches getting washed out, while the remaining two might not have much play either. With that, Pakistan and Ireland will have no indication in regards to what to expect from the pitch at this venue. Notably, the average first innings score is 166 at this venue in T20Is, while the first innings score in the upcoming match could range between 160-165. The powerplay score could go up to 45-50.
