Ireland Women host Pakistan Women in the 6th and final match of the Women’s Tri-Series in Ireland at Castle Avenue, Dublin on Thursday, 4 June. First ball is 8:30 PM IST (4:00 PM local), with the tri-series title on the line.
West Indies have finished their fixtures on top of the table. Ireland, sitting second, can clinch the series with a win here, while Pakistan are still chasing their first victory of the tournament. The result decides who lifts the trophy.
Ireland arrive in form, having beaten West Indies by one run (DLS) and Pakistan by seven wickets earlier in the series. Pakistan have batted competitively but lost both completed games. On a Dublin pitch with early seam movement and a rain risk, Ireland start as favourites at home.

Dream11 Team for IRE-W vs PAK-W, 6th Match
| Player | Team | Role | Why pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orla Prendergast | IRE | All-rounder | Player of the Match in the win over West Indies with 71* and 2/26. Ireland’s captain and best all-round option. A strong captaincy alternative. |
| Fatima Sana | PAK | All-rounder | Pakistan’s captain, a hard hitter with a high strike rate and a new-ball wicket-taker. Two-way points. |
| Amy Hunter | IRE | WK-Batter | Made 56 against Pakistan earlier in the series. Keeper points add a floor to a top-order batter in form. |
| Sadia Iqbal | PAK | Bowler | Pakistan’s frontline left-arm spinner and most reliable wicket source in T20Is. Central in the middle overs. |
| Ava Canning | IRE | Bowler | Took 2/11 against West Indies, removing Matthews and Joseph. New-ball threat in seam-friendly Dublin conditions. |
Pitch Report
| Venue | Castle Avenue, Clontarf, Dublin |
| Pitch type | A fair bat-and-ball surface. Seamers get movement early under cloud thanks to moisture, and batting becomes easier once set. Spin matters through the middle overs. |
| Scoring | Totals around 150–170 are competitive when the surface plays well. This series has seen scores from the low 100s up to 199, so conditions and the new ball shape the total. |
| Pace vs spin | New-ball seam (Canning, Dempsey, Baig) strikes up top; spin (Sadia Iqbal, Nashra Sandhu, McBride, Murray) controls the middle. Both attacks carry threats. |
| Toss factor | With cloud cover and early movement, the toss winner may bowl first and chase. Posting a total and defending with spin has also worked here. |
| Rain / DLS | Rain has already affected two games in this series. DLS could come into play again, so par-score awareness matters in a title decider. |
Weather Report
| Temperature | Cool, around 15–16°C (high near 60°F). Typical Dublin early summer. |
| Sky | Cloudy and overcast. |
| Rain chance | Moderate, roughly 35%. Showers are possible during the evening window. |
| Conditions | Overcast skies can assist seam and swing, especially in the powerplay. |
| Overall | Cool and cloudy with a rain risk. Keep an eye on the toss and any DLS revision before locking your team. |
IRE-W vs PAK-W Toss Prediction
Under Dublin cloud cover, the new ball does the most, so the toss winner may prefer to bowl first and chase a known target, with rain and DLS also in mind.
If Orla Prendergast (Ireland) wins, she may bowl first and use Canning and Dempsey with the new ball, then back Ireland’s top order to chase, as they did against both Pakistan and West Indies.
If Fatima Sana (Pakistan) wins, she may bat first to post a total in the 160s and defend with Sadia Iqbal and Nashra Sandhu through the middle, the template Pakistan used to reach 176 against Ireland.
Injury and Team News
Ireland: Laura Delany was ruled out before the series and replaced by Alice Tector. Orla Prendergast continues to lead in the absence of regular captain Gaby Lewis, with Hunter, Stokell and Canning the in-form names. No fresh injury concerns.
Pakistan: With the title beyond them, Pakistan may rotate and give fringe and reserve players a game before the T20 World Cup. Fatima Sana leads, with Muneeba Ali, Aliya Riaz and Sadia Iqbal the key names.
