Pakistan is set to take on Ireland today in their concluding match of the T20 World Cup 2024 in Florida. Both teams have already been knocked out of the tournament, with India and the USA securing advancement from Group A to the Super Eight stage.
The outcome of the match will not influence the standings, prompting Pakistan to contemplate changes to their lineup. Sources indicate that spinner Abrar Ahmed and fast bowler Abbas Afridi are poised to be included in the squad for the dead rubber clash against Ireland.

This fixture could potentially be the last international appearance for seasoned players Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir. Both recently came out of retirement but are now anticipated to retire once more to concentrate on franchise cricket.
The national team decided to forgo their practice session on Saturday due to persistent rain, which rendered the outfield unplayable. Moreover, rain continues to pose a threat to the match itself, with forecasts suggesting potential interruptions.
As the teams prepare for their final outing in this year’s T20 World Cup, fans will watch closely, particularly to bid farewell to Wasim and Amir, whose contributions have been significant over the years.
