Babar Azam’s Lookalike Couldn’t Save Pakistan from Defeat Against Ireland

Fatima Sana was the most successful bowler for Pakistan, taking four wickets for 26 runs. Pakistan, ranked eighth, then needed 143 runs to win.

Orla Prendergast was named Player of the Match for her 29 runs and three wickets. This was the first T20 match in the series, and in 15 previous encounters, Pakistan had won 10 times, while Ireland had won 5.
