A 140-run partnership between Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan, both of whom struck half-centuries, to defeat Ireland by seven wickets in the second T20I and tied the series 1-1 here on Sunday. Azam Khan hammered a 10-ball 30 to propel Pakistan to victory as they scored 70-odd runs in the last six overs.

Mohammad Rizwan scored an unbeaten 75 off 46 balls while Fakhar Zaman slammed a 40-ball 78 as Pakistan reached 195/3 in 16.5 overs as they established their strength after they were stunned by Ireland in the first match a couple of days ago. Pakistan had restricted Ireland to 193/7 after electing to bat first on winning the toss.
