Pakistan (PAK) will face Ireland (IRE) in the 36th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 on Sunday, June 16. The Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida will host the contest.

Pakistan's hopes of qualifying for the Super 8 were dashed after the USA's game against Ireland was abandoned due to rain. The Men in Green had already lost their first two games against the USA and India.

However, Pakistan had recently secured a seven-wicket victory over Canada and will aim to finish their World Cup campaign on a high note.

Meanwhile, Ireland sit at the bottom of the Group A points table with two losses in three games.

On that note, here are the three differential picks you can opt for your PAK vs IRE Dream11 teams.


#3 Craig Young (IRE) - 6.5 credits
