The 36th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 will pit Pakistan against Ireland at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida on June 16 at 8:00 PM IST. The USA vs. Ireland match was canceled due to excessive rain, meaning both teams are out of the tournament. Pakistan’s elimination from the competition was guaranteed by the washout, even though they needed Ireland to defeat the USA.
Pakistan vs Ireland Head-to-Head

Pakistan vs Ireland Team News
Pakistan have a fully fit side at their disposal in their last group stage game of the T20 World Cup. Being benched after the first game, it remains to be seen if Azam Khan gets a chance in the last game. Also, Abrar Ahmed and Abbas Afridi might get a look-in. Ireland, on the other hand, are expected to field more-or-less the same XI. They will bid to end the tournament on a positive note.
PAK vs IRE Pitch Report
For teams batting first, the Florida pitch has proven beneficial. The new ball comes onto the bat nicely, providing bowlers with significant seam movement and conducive to good batting conditions. It is anticipated that the pitch will slow down as the game goes on, which will help the spin bowlers. The side that wins the toss will therefore probably choose to bat first.
