Ireland vs Pakistan Betting Tips
Pakistan to score over 22.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85@ Parimatch)
Pakistan faced a draw in their last T20I series against New Zealand. It was a competitive series where both the teams played extremely well. Pakistan openers, Saim Ayub and Babar Azam, were inconsistent in the series but must have thrown in the practice after that in preparation for the world cup. Ayub and Azam average at 14.60 & 41.10 respectively in the format. In the last series, they posted the scores of 4, 55, 13 & 8 runs. However, Ireland is a much easier side to bat against. The side will fancy their line-up in hope for big scores. In their last clash in 2009, PAK scored 38 runs before their first dismissal. That said, Pakistan will be expected to strike high for the first wicket in the upcoming game.

Ireland vs Pakistan Toss Prediction
The surface here in Dublin has an inclination for the batters. However, the pacers will be able to extract some bounce and movement early on in the contest. That said, the batters will dominate most of the game. Either skipper winning the toss will fancy bowling first in order to have a target in mind.
Weather Report
You can expect cloudy skies on May 10. With a maximum temperature of 19.0°C, there is no chance of rain during the match.
