Pakistan play their first match of the three-game T20I series vs Ireland today. The match will be played in Dublin in Ireland. Pakistan play these matches and then fly back home to play England before they fly to USA for the T20 World Cup 2024. Babar Azam and co are yet to announce their T20 World Cup squad. They want to try as many players as possible before they finalise the 15. Watch out for Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayub, the top three in Pakistan batting lineup. It will be interesting to see where these three bat in the series. Rizwan and Babar have done exceedingly well as openers for Pakistan for years. But Saim's arrival means that one of them have to come down the order. Rizwan came down to number 3 in the series vs New Zealand. Let's see whether Pakistan decide to stick with the same plan or is it Babar who comes to bat at number 3 now.
