IRE-W vs PAK-W: Pakistan’s best playing XI for the T20I series against Ireland

Table of Contents

In a highly anticipated series, Ireland Women are set to host Pakistan Women for a three-match T20I series, commencing on August 6. All matches will be held at the Clontarf Cricket Club Stadium in Dublin, a venue that promises to be a stage for a competitive contest between the two closely-ranked teams. This series serves as a vital preparation for both sides as they look ahead to the T20 World Cup in similar England conditions next year.

The Pakistan team, currently ranked eighth in the ICC Women’s T20 team rankings, will be eager to turn the tables on their opponents. Although they hold a favorable head-to-head record of 15-14 against Ireland, it was the Irish side that won their most recent series 2-1 when they toured Pakistan. This series will present an opportunity for Fatima Sana‘s team to settle the score. Pakistan’s most recent T20I performance was in the Women’s T20 World Cup in 2024, where they had a disappointing outing, losing three of their four group-stage matches. The team will be looking to their key players, including captain Fatima, batter Muneeba Ali, and the world’s number one ranked T20I bowler, Sadia Iqbal, to find form and build momentum for the upcoming busy season.
