Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has praised the national team for securing victory in the three-match T20I series against Ireland.

The Men in Green clinched the series victory by winning the third and final decider match held on Sunday in Dublin.

Afridi took to the social media platform 'X' and emphasized the strength of the team, highlighting the importance of every player's contribution in achieving favorable outcomes.

"Today’s win shows that we are a strong team and when everyone contributes the best results come. Well done boys, special match-winning performances by @babarazam258 @imrizwanpak with lighting SR and @iShaheenAfridi tight spell," Afridi posted. 

It is worth noting that the Men in Green secured a 2-1 victory in the three-match T20I series against Ireland. 

This victory is significant as it marks Pakistan's first bilateral T20I series win since December 2021, when they defeated West Indies.

Their next series before the World Cup 2024 is against England, where they are scheduled to play a four-match T20I series starting from 22nd May.
