The Tri-Nation T20I Series 2026 moves forward with the third match of the tour set to be played between Ireland Women (IRE W) and Pakistan Women (PAK W) at Castle Avenue in Dublin on Sunday, May 31.
Ireland Women faced a huge eight-wicket loss against the West Indies Women in the series opener on Thursday. They failed to contain the meagre total against the Caribbean side and did not hold onto any momentum, which eventually got them off to a losing start in the tri-nation series. However, they will look to bounce back and grab a crucial win.
Pakistan Women, on the other hand, will be playing the upcoming clash on the back of a disappointing loss against the Hayley Matthews-led unit. With chances being extremely low, the Women in Green would want to hold onto opportunities and grab crucial points on the board to make their debut on the leaderboard in the series.

Castle Avenue, Dublin: Pitch Report
The previous clash held at the Castle Avenue in Dublin proved that the surface here offers an excellent amount of assistance for the teams that opt to bat first. A big score can be put up on the cards before the pitch starts to get slower in nature in terms of the pace and bounce on offer. The captain winning the toss should look to set up a big total and defend it in the second innings.

IRE W vs PAK W: Probable Best Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Aliya Riaz
While the Pakistanis lost their campaign opener against the Caribbean team, Aliya Riaz found her comfort zone in the middle and went on to compile a 37-run knock in the middle. This clearly indicates that the batter is in good rhythm at the moment and can bat in adverse conditions as well. Pakistan will be banking on her contributions to come out on top on Sunday.
Probable Best Bowler: Ava Canning
Out of a few things that have been positive for the Irishwomen in the ongoing series, the form of Ava Canning has been impressive. Against the West Indies, she delivered a tight four-over spell, giving away just 16 runs, while also picking up two crucial breakthroughs for her side. She is expected to bowl a memorable spell against Pakistan as well.
