However, on the field, the team is looking to carry forward the momentum from their recent 3-0 T20I series whitewash over Australia. Ireland, captained by Paul Stirling, enters the contest following a successful run in the UAE, aiming to secure a psychological edge over a full-member nation.

  For Pakistan, this match is vital for acclimatisation. The SSC Ground will also host two of their primary group-stage matches later this month. The team management is expected to trial Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan at the top of the order, while the pace battery, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah, will look to find their rhythm on the relatively slow Colombo surface.

  Ireland will lean on the experience of Paul Stirling and Lorcan Tucker, who has a strong historical record against Pakistan. The Irish side is known for its ability to cause upsets in World Cup scenarios, and with the surface expected to offer assistance to spinners like Matthew Humphreys, they will be confident of challenging the Pakistan middle order.
