Ireland vs Pakistan Betting Tips
Pakistan to score low before 1st dismissal (@ 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. In the last series, they posted the scores of 4, 55, 13 & 8 runs before their first dismissal. The openers lost their wicket pretty early in those games. The team could not recover a strong opening pair as Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayub opened for the team in the 1st game and raised only 7 runs before Rizwan was knocked out in the game. In the second game, Saim Ayub dismissed out early while the team's score read as 6. That said, Pakistan will be expected to face an early dismissal in the upcoming game.
