Pakistan Vs Ireland (Source:X)
Pakistan will take on Ireland in their first and only warm-up match ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo on February 4. The PAK vs IRE match will give both teams a final opportunity to assess conditions before the marquee tournament begins.
Pakistan arrive in Sri Lanka full of confidence after a dominant 3-0 T20I series win over Australia at home.
However, Pakistan's preparations have not been without controversy. Ahead of the tournament, the team made headlines after initially threatening to boycott the event due to political tensions.
Matters escalated when the Pakistan government confirmed that the team would not take the field for their group-stage match against India on February 15.
While the PCB has not formally communicated its stance to the ICC, reports suggest ICC officials have already reached out to PCB and explained the possible consequences of such a move.
Ireland, meanwhile, comes into the warm-up match on the back of solid recent performances. The Paul Stirling-led side recently played a two-match T20I series against the UAE.
In the first T20I, Ireland defeated UAE by 57 runs; in the second game, they defeated UAE by 30 runs.
