Toss Pakistan chose to field vs Ireland
Babar Azam won the toss and asked Ireland to bat first in the third - and decisive - T20I between the two sides.
Pakistan made one change. Naseem Shah has been rested, giving Hasan Ali his first T20I in September 2022.
Ireland, meanwhile, made two changes, with regular captain Paul Stirling rested, while Gareth Delany also sat out. Lorcan Tucker was named Ireland captain in Stirling's absence, and Neil Rock and Ross Adair came in to the XI.
It's the first time Tucker will lead Ireland in any format.
In the lead up to the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the USA next month, Ireland have a T20I tri-series in the Netherlands, which also includes Scotland ,coming up, while Pakistan travel to England for four T20Is.
