- Pakistan have won three of their four men’s T20Is against Ireland, with their only loss in this span coming on 10 May 2024 by a five-wicket margin with Andy Balbirnie scoring a match-high 77 off 55 balls.
- Pakistan snapped a four-game losing streak (including losses on Super Over) in men’s T20Is with a seven-wicket win against Canada in their most recent game; the Shaheens have won just six of their 17 men’s T20Is in 2024, with their win percentage of 35.3% this year being their third lowest in a single calendar year (11.1% in 2019 and 33.3% in 2010).
- Pakistan have won just one game in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup (L2 – including a super over loss), only once before in the history of the competition have the Shaheens recorded just one win over an entire campaign (in 2016).
- Ireland have won only one of their last six ICC Men’s T20 World Cup matches (L5) – a five-run victory against England (26 October 2022); they have lost each of their four games in the tournament since then – the last and only time they recorded a longer losing run in the tournament was a six-match span from June 2009 to September 2012.
- Pakistan have dropped at least two catches in four of their last six men’s T20I matches; they have registered a catch success rate of 74% in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and have dropped five catches in total in the tournament so far.
- Ireland have lost each of their last two completed men’s T20Is, as many as they lost across their six matches in the format prior to that span (W4 L2); the last time they recorded a longer losing run in the format was a four-match span from July to December in 2023.
- Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan) has a batting average of 66 against Ireland in men’s T20Is, his highest against a single team in the format; Rizwan has scored back-to-back 50s in his last two innings against the Men in Green (56, 75*).
- Mark Adair (11) is one away from surpassing Alex Cusack (11) for the outright third most wickets for Ireland in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history; he’s taken at least one wicket in each of his 11 T20I bowling innings overall in 2024, recording 19 wickets in total across that span at an average of 17.9.
- Babar Azam (122) is one game away from equaling Shoaib Malik’s record for most men’s T20I matches played by a Pakistan player (123); Babar has been Pakistan’s captain in 84 matches in the format, the outright most such caps for any player in the history of the format.
- George Dockrell (18) is one away from surpassing Kevin O’Brien (18) for the outright second most appearances for Ireland at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup; he’s been dismissed only once in his last four T20I batting innings overall (4*, 53*, 3, 30*).
