Match 3 of the T20 International series between Pakistan Women and Ireland Women sees the hosts riding high, having already sealed the series 2-0.
Ireland showcased their dominance in the second match, clinching a four-wicket victory while chasing a competitive target. Pakistan posted 168, thanks to contributions from Muneeba Ali (27 off 22), Shawaal Zulfiqar (33 off 27), and a quickfire cameo by Natalia Parvaiz (31 off 17).
In response, Ireland’s chase was composed yet decisive. Orla Prendergast led the way with a fluent 51 off 34 balls, while Rebecca Stokell’s blistering 34* off just 16 deliveries at a strike rate of 202 earned her the Player of the Match award as Ireland reached 171/6 to seal the win.
With the series already in the bag, Ireland will aim for a clean sweep in the final encounter, while Pakistan will fight to salvage pride.
