Two dropped catches by Graham Hume in the Pakistan reply to Ireland's 193 for 7 gave the visitors the impetus to win the second T20 international to square up the three-match series at 1-1 ahead of next Tuesday's decider.
Curtis Campher and Gareth Delaney scampered a single with the second-last delivery as Ireland beat Pakistan in their T20 international, claiming a sensational victory on a beautiful day in Clontarf.
Veteran opening batter Paul Stirling was on Wednesday named Ireland skipper in their 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in West Indies and USA. Besides Stirling, the experienced faces in their squad are Andrew Balbirnie and George Dockrell as Ireland begin their campaign against India in their Group A fixture in New York on June 5. Pakistan, Canada and hosts USA are the three other teams of the group. Ireland's batting lineup features Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Ross Adair, and Curtis Campher.
Ireland suffered a 2-1 T20 series defeat to Afghanistan after Ibrahim Zadran's unbeaten 72 steered his side to a 57-run victory.
Led by captain Rashid Khan, Afghanistan proved too strong for Ireland with the ball as they won the second T20 international of their three-match series by 10 runs in Sharjah on Friday. Afghanistan's victory ties up the series 1-1 as Ireland's multi-format tour against Afghanistan approaches its end. A valiant knock of 39 off 18 balls by Gareth Delany was in vain as Ireland failed to score the 18 runs necessary off the last over to win. One six was not enough as the penultimate ball was stopped for no run and the last saw Delany caught on the boundary off Fazalhaq Farooqi.
Mohammad Nabi's five-wicket haul helped Afghanistan clinch a 117-run win over Ireland in the 3rd ODI at Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on Tuesday. Hashmatullah Shahidi's Afghanistan also sealed a series win by 2-0, after securing victory in the first and final 50-over match. The second ODI match of the series was abondoned after rain played a spoilsport. After winning the toss, Paul Stirling's Irish side decided to send the Afghan squad to bat first. However, their decision did not go in their favour as Ireland's bowling attack failed to perform well.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz posted his sixth one-day international century as Afghanistan eased to a 35-run win over Ireland in the opening one-day international in Sharjah on Thursday. Put into bat, Afghanistan posted 310-5 in their 50 overs with Ibrahim Zadran making 60 in an opening partnership of 150 with Gurbaz who made 121. Ireland slipped to 34-3 before Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker added 173 for the fourth wicket. Tector went on to make 138, his fifth ODI hundred, but as wickets fell at the other end, Ireland could only reach 275-8.
Captain Andrew Balbirnie guided Ireland to their first ever Test-match victory when they defeated Afghanistan by six wickets in Abu Dhabi on Friday.
