Babar Azam's Pakistan aims to salvage some honor against a struggling Ireland in their final Group A clash of the 2024 ICC T20 Cricket World Cup on Sunday.
With bitter rivals India, and the USA, having already secured spots in the Super 8 stage from the same pool, Pakistan find themselves reflecting on their unsuccessful T20 strategy. Their exit has been the cause for much national soul searching, but before the rebuild begins, they must first tackle the challenge posed by the Irish.

Currently winless in Group A, Ireland will be eager to sign off with their first victory, and will be buoyed by Pakistan’s recent struggles.
However, the outcome could hinge on the weather, as Florida has faced heavy rains and flooding around the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium. The USA's unexpected advancement to the next round was partly decided by a washed-out match against Ireland at the same venue, which also contributed to Pakistan's early exit.
Pakistan enters the match fresh off a convincing victory against Canada, winning by seven wickets, while Ireland fell short against Canada by 12 runs. Will Pakistan finish strong, or can Ireland upset the odds?
