Pakistan likely playing XI for third T20I against Ireland

Pakistan's cricket team is gearing for the third and final T20 International (T20I) of the series against Ireland set to take place in Dublin on Tuesday.
 
With the series levelled at 1-1 after Pakistan's convincing seven-wicket win in the second T20I, both teams will try their best to put the series to their name.

Having displayed a dominant performance in the previous match, Pakistan's likely playing XI is expected to remain unchanged.

Babar Azam will lead the side and open the innings alongside the promising left-hander Saim Ayub. Mohammad Rizwan is likely to bat at number three, providing stability to the batting order. 

The middle order comprises powerful hitters like Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan who will don the wicketkeeping gloves, Iftikhar Ahmed, and all-rounder Imad Wasim, offering the team a solid foundation for scoring runs and accelerating the innings when required.

Pakistan are likely to stick with a four-man pace attack which will be led by Shaheen Afridi, and supported by Abbas Afridi, Naseem Shah and Mohammad Amir.

The team management's tactical adjustment is also influenced by the prevailing overcast conditions and the anticipated chance of rain.

However, if they decide to make a change, Abrar Ahmed might replace Mohammad Amir in the lineup, with the decision attributed to Amir's costly performance, having conceded 44 runs in the previous match.

Pakistan’s likely XI:
Saim Ayub, Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan (wk), Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir
