President of Ireland Cricket Board is giving the trophy to Babar Azam. Babar Azam has joined his teammates with the trophy to begin the celebration.
Babar Azam (Pakistan Captain) : “Yeah to
be honest all the credit to Ireland the way they batted. After the 10th
over, our bowlers fought back really well and restricted them to a competitive
total. To be honest we were happy that the crowd enjoyed the game.
Me and Rizwan have a good communication as we played a lot of cricket together and we wanted to keep belief on ourselves and target the bowlers. We have a big tournament coming up around the corner so we had a good series versus Ireland over here. We will sit together and have a discussion regarding this series.”

Lorcan Tucker(Ireland Captain)- "Ya it's a brilliant feeling to captain my country for the first time. I think this is a good preparation for us ahead of the T20 world cup. A week later, we are heading towards USA and I think we are ready for the grand stage.
We wanted to give our new bowlers more opportunities and they bowled in a great way. The way we played and the intent we showed is a positive takeaway for us. We have a tri-series this week and the world cup later. We are confident about our game."

Shaheen Shah Afridi (Player of the Match): "Yeah, I think the boys did well and we had a good partnership among the bowling group. We were planning to hit the length right with the new ball and were bowling a bit full in the last couple of games. It is good to play games before the World Cup which will help us work on our things. They are World class players (on Babar and Rizwan). They played brilliantly today. I am enjoying my time in Ireland and also thanks to the fans to come out in numbers and support us."

This is the 10th time, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have registered a century partnership between them in T20I.
22:50 IST and 18:20 Local Time: ALL OVER. Pakistan win the series by 2-1. An impressive show from the hosts in the first back but Pakistan have done well to win 2 back-to-back games and seal the series. A perfect game for them today with both bat and ball.
Opting to field first, Pakistan were top notch with the ball to restrict the hosts to just 178 on a flat pitch. They were a bit expensive with the new ball but were excellent to pull back things in the middle and death overs.
Shaheen Shah Afridi was at his best and picked up 3 wickets by giving away just 14 runs. Abbas Afridi was also decent and picked up 2 wickets to his name.
For Ireland, they batted brilliantly in the powerplay but will be disappointed with the way their middle order performed today. Skipper Lorcan Tucker was the pick of the batters and scored 73 off 41 balls.
Coming to the chase, it was a complete dominance from the visitors with the bat. They did lose Saim Ayub early but the ever green duo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan stitched up a match winning partnership of 139 runs and scored 75 and 56 runs respectively and almost killed the game before the 15th over.
For Ireland, they did not have enough on the board but their bowlers looked ordinary today and gave away a lot of freebies. Mark Adair was impressive for them and ended his spell with the figures of 3/28 in his 4 overs. Stay tuned for the post match presentation coming your way.

16.6 M Adair to A Khan
6 Azam Khan again finishes the game in style with a maximum!!! Full delivery wide outside off from over the wicket. Azam moves to the line of the ball and plays a slog sweep towards cow corner. Harry Tector from deep midwicket runs to his left, takes the catch and when he realised that he was going out of the fence, he flicks it back. TV umpire is checking the boundary and the replay shows that Tector's right leg had crossed the fence when he flicked the ball inside. Valiant effort from Tector but in vain!
16.5 M Adair to A Khan
6 SIXXXXX!!!!! Adair bowls it on length angling at the fourth stump. Azam creates the room and heaves it over long-on for a maximum.
16.5 M Adair to A Khan
WD Full delivery angling wide outside off. Azam leaves it for a wide.
16.4 M Adair to A Khan
0 Round the wicket, fuller delivery outside off stump, swing and a miss from Azam Khan. Dot ball.
16.3 M Adair to I Wasim
1 Good length delivery at the middle and leg from round the stump. Wasim tucks it to midwicket for one.
